re: call Julia from C -- understood -- that part I'm happy to hack w/ and see what happens. Regarding git for a build phase -- (because it's difficult to read emotional intent on the internet, let me say: I appreciate this work on Julia, and how difficult project management is. Much respect. But...) I think I disagree with you about what a "distribution" is - it should be a snapshot, and whether there are two versions (base, "batteries installed"), or additional packages to optionally install later is inconsequential - a "distribution" should be self-contained and fully baked. The devs/hackers can pull from tip of master and get the "live" build scripts, but that shouldn't be included a release -- release != repository.
Again, much respect. Consider my comment food for thought.
