[ProofPower] load proof power with PolyML

[Yuhui Lin]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for you reply. You're right, ProofPower doesn't have to be in the middle, as there is no dependency.  Could you give me some hint about how to build ProofPower + some_libraries ? 

best,
Yuhui

If so, then why does ProofPower need to be in the middle? That would only make a difference if some_libraries was providing replacements for functions that ProofPower uses, wouldn't it? In any case, it sould be a relatively simple change to make the starting point of the ProofPower build be Poly/ML + some_libraries.
