nimbase.h not copied with --genScript in devel (works in 1.0.6)

[dom96]

I am compiling my program for Android like so nim c --nimcache:"./foo/bar/src" --cpu:amd64 client.nim with a client.nim.cfg that contains:

@if android:
  --genScript
@end

This generates .c code in ./foo/bar/src, with nim 1.0.6 the nimbase.h is placed there, but with devel it's not.

that's because of #13145 which was needed to fix #13144 (and affected other libraries too)

3 options:

• you can use nims instead of nim.cfg which would also copy over lib/nimbase.h to your target directory
• pass a -I $Nim/lib flag to your build command so it knows where to find it
• or we can add a nim --genSciptStandalone flag that would copy over to nimcache all the dependencies (eg lib/nimbase.h, lib/cycle.h, and (not sure) lib/wrappers/linenoise/linenoise.h)

4th option: fix this, it's a regression. Nim 1.x isn't supposed to break stuff like this.

Running into this one again, hopefully you're not against fixing this.

Any progress?
