A first draft of an Atom syndication format plugin.

[Tim-ats-d]

We discussed it here so here is a first try with several weaknesses:

• I tried as much as possible to have an API similar to Yocaml.Rss but I didn't know if it was wise that the parameters that are URLs should be Uri.t or more naturally string.

• In Atom.make, the data used to create generator parameter are hardcoded, they could be replaced by generating the yocaml .opam file with dune and using watermarks replaced by dune.

• I don't know if the data such as authors must also be wrapped in their own data type to erase syndic traces

In addition, I fixed a small detail Format.printf "\"%s\"" str can be replaced by Format.printf "%S" str.

I think what would be great is :

• Have Rss support in yocaml_syndication
• Have a hook that converts the metadata (Articles) to a feed, similar to how it is done in YOCaml.

Anyway, thank you very much for this contribution and sorry for the delay!

• Have Rss support in yocaml_syndication

I would have liked to but I am stuck by the lack of function for output a Syndic.Rss2.channel to XML.

You are right Cumulus/Syndic#75
I guess that we can merge! Thanks a lot for your work!

It seems that the current branch does not typecheck.

Just a small fix (and after I can merge)

Oops. I also added a link to the syndic library in the doc.

Fix #42 for posterity, I guess 😛
