Description

Following #350 we now have a small SML program to generate the tutorial exercises, currently at tutorial/solutions/make_ex.sml. This issue is to re-implement this program in CakeML instead (including automatically generating the executable and using it in the relevant Holmakefile), in part to ensure our infrastructure is up to scratch.

The program might also be better in the developers directory, but that will depend on how the "build a CakeML program" aspect is handled.

Contributor guide
