Allow standalone compiling without Pret repos

[easyaspi314]

I would like there to be a basic preproc and built-in macro definitions for all the naturally emitted macros to allow piping Poryscript right into the assembler without the Pret trees. (perhaps poryscript --standalone or something)

I am asking this because we are considering using Poryscript for the ACE payload in Poké Transporter GB, but the current setup makes it so we would have to include or provide replacements for multiple random files from the Pret repos which is a little annoying.

I'm a bit hazy on what you're asking for here, so please help me understand better. As you're aware, Poryscript intentionally has very limited knowledge of the scripting macros from the pret repos. In order to support something like poryscript --standalone, which outputs self-contained assembler, it would still need some kind of way to specify the macro definitions. As a user, it seems like you would still end up needing to provide the same kind of files from the Pret repos, since Poryscript would not want to be an authority on which scripting commands/macros/constants are available. 🤔 Is that essentially what you'd expect?

One assumption to check: Poryscript's implementation of conditional branching is based on gen 3's script engine. Are Poke Transporter GB's scripts targeting that script engine (or something very similar to it)?

It's a project which creates a mystery gift event for all the gen 3 games.
