I propose the following for replacing haxelib.exe:

In OCaml:

  • rewrite the method responsible for resolving haxelib repository (which is quite easy)
  • locate the current haxelib package installed using this method
  • if not present, install it from statically linked data
  • run it using haxe eval

This way:

  • no neko dependency required (only for running run.n if necessary)
  • haxelib can be distributed/updated as a library

Show stopper:

  • eval ssl support ?

I wanted the compiler to have less knowledge about haxelibs and such, not more...

It's not a compiler, it's a new exe. Any other proposal for boostrapping ?
Alternative solution is to have this written in Haxe (using haxelib sources) and compiled with hxcpp as exe. But since hxcpp requires haxelib...

I'm not sure what this is actually solving, but concerning concrete issues brought up:

But since hxcpp requires haxelib...

Possible solution: Add hxcpp as git submodule to haxelib. Compile with -D no-compilation and call into the build tool in Context.onAfterGenerate (involves making sure it runs on eval, but with the new unified threading API, it might actually work quite well).
