Requirement of folder name same as Project name

[xgdgsc]

When the root folder name isn' t same as Project.toml name. Using

#!/usr/bin/bash
juliac \
  --output-exe sv \
  --bundle build \
  --trim=safe \
  --experimental \
  ./

Error like

need install Pkg <root> folder

is thrown.

Should it be a requirement or should be noted in the doc?

We're also affected by this. Our project uses a lowercase directory name while the package is PascalCase in Project.toml. Currently we work around this with an entry point script that does include("Package.jl"); using .Package: main, but it would be much cleaner if juliac read the package name from Project.toml.

The fix seems straightforward - in juliac-buildscript.jl around line 57-60:

dname = splitdir(patharg)[2]
project_toml = joinpath(patharg, "Project.toml")
if isfile(project_toml)
  proj = Base.parsed_toml(project_toml)
  pkgname = Symbol(get(proj, "name", splitext(dname)[1]))
else
  pkgname = Symbol(splitext(dname)[1])
end

This is backwards compatible - falls back to directory name if no Project.toml exists. Happy to submit a PR if this approach looks acceptable.
