Linux

We've made a proof of concept for Linux.

To test it, create Package.swift in your test directory with the following content:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "MyShinyUnicornCat",
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift.git", Version(2, 0, 0))
    ]
)

What does work:

Distribution using Swift Package Manager
Single Threaded mode (CurrentThreadScheduler)
Half of unit tests are passing.
Projects that can be compiled and "used":
- RxSwift
- RxBlocking
- RxTests

What doesn't work:

Schedulers - because they are dependent on https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch and it still hasn't been released
Multithreading - still no access to c11 locks
For some reason it looks like Swift compiler generates wrong code when using ErrorType on Linux, so don't use errors, otherwise you can get weird crashes.
