Feature request - use ikvm or ikvm.exe from path

[mgerhardy]

Would make it easier on linux system that have ikvm installed system wide. They usually did it with a wrapper named /usr/bin/ikvm that is a shell script to the ikvm.exe in /usr/lib/ikvm/bin/ikvm.exe (or somewhere else)

That could work, but we already support kind-of that scenario: https://github.com/Ullink/gradle-ikvm-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/com/ullink/IkvmBasePlugin.groovy#L10

Basically you need to ensure IKVM_HOME is set. Come to think of it, maybe we could also check if ikvmc is on path and then use that.

I think detecting IKVM in PATH is important bc if you run choco install ikvm you find it in PATH but the IKVM_HOME is not set.
