Convert the boot main application from java to csharp.

Write a build script based on the 'Makefile'.
This makefile is mostly a thin wrapper around Maven.
We should probably target Mono rather than .Net directly.

Note: this is different from the boot-cljr installation script #7

Most Java annotations will not have direct .NET equivalent attributes.
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public class App

Most of the CLR packages are available from a NuGet repository.
This include ClojureCLR itself.
We would like to be able to do something like this...

(set-env!
  ...
  :repositories #{"nuget" "http://www.nuget.org/"}
  :dependencies '[[nuget/clojure "1.8.0"]]
  ... )

the pods boot uses are started in java, in

https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/blob/master/boot/base/src/main/java/boot/App.java

Most of the dependencies used by the builtin tasks are run in the 'worker pod' which is started there in

https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/blob/master/boot/core/src/boot/task/built_in.clj you can search for eg pod/with-call-worker to see uses of the worker pod

Many of these tasks are doing things that are maybe irrelevant in c#.
The basic idea is to keep the dependencies of tasks out of userspace

As a general design rule we will convert all bash scripts into powershell scripts.
'bat' files will be avoided.
This change is really for a separate project but is recorded here for tracking tasks.

The current boot.exe is a java program that installs the java based boot.
What we need here is something that install the CLR based boot.

Boot makes use of filesets.
In Java this is implemented using CLASSPATH.
How will this be supported in the .Net world?

The enumeration needs to be constructed in a different fashion.
Maybe it should not be an enumeration at all.

There is no .NET Dictionary equivalent to the Java putAll method.
