Some CMake modules expect certain environment vars set. The ability to set these in an emake.toml and have them applied would be ideal.

It would be neat if einit could automatically create a minimal CMakeLists.txt and src/main.c(pp), similar to cargo new, zig init-exe, etc. for the sake of quickly bootstrapping projects. However, I'm skeptical about adding this because:

• this slightly exceeds the original scope of the project, and keeping this tool lean would be ideal; and
• if this is implemented, the content of the template will likely be controversial and I don't have much desire to also build an elaborate template-choosing system, etc.

Nevertheless, this could be useful and I don't want to forget about this idea, hence the issue.

P.S. I've assigned this to myself as I'd prefer to build this on my own rather than accept PRs for this feature, since I'll likely have strong opinions on how this should be done.

Seeing as this project utilizes Poetry, the ability to automate building wheels and tarballs for each new release with Github Actions is possible. There are several ways to implement this, but would like to hear thoughts before attempting to do so.

It would be nice to have a global emake.toml to support true "defaults". It should optionally layer with the local emake.toml if both exist.

Since the release of 3.11, Python officially supports parsing TOML files without the need of extra dependencies. I noticed that for all current versions of the project, the standard library is not used.

I'm happy to submit a PR that prioritizes the usage of the standard library for later versions of Python, just wanted to get an ok on this. Note that this proposal will not limit the project to a higher version that already assigned, as support for older versions can still be achieved with tomli.
