Public final v1.6 release of the .NET DllExport:

* NEW: The new embeddable lightweight manager for distribution via MvsSln & GetNuTool projects. Issue #38.
       Based on hMSBuild logic and includes GetNuTool core v1.6.1.

       Now you shouldn't use standard nuget clients anymore:

       Quick start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBWt-KdQtoc
        ==============================
        DllExport -action Configure
        ==============================

       Package from nuget.org already contains manager, but you can also get it directly.
       Latest manager: https://3F.github.io/DllExport/releases/latest/manager/
       ~18 Kb text-based embeddable batch-script that does not require powershell and dotnet-cli.

       Automatic restoring still is available but you can also use: `DllExport -action Restore`
       All available features: `DllExport -h`

       Direct links to remote package (without nuget server) via `-pkg-link {uri}` key. Issue #53.
       NuGet Server by default: nuget.org.

* NEW: The new Wizard (configurator via MvsSln). To easy configure your projects in any place. Part of Issue #38.
       MvsSln v2.0: https://github.com/3F/MvsSln

* NEW: Added support of empty/global namespaces - Issue #47.
       Use `Direct-Mod` if Cecil will not process this correctly.

* NEW: Implemented another storage for configuration: '.net.dllexport.targets'. Issue #49.

* NEW: New settings for configurator (Wizard):
        * Path to custom ILAsm.
        * Flag to keep intermediate Files (IL Code, Resources, ...).
        * Timeout of execution in milliseconds.

* NEW: Implemented automatic checking existence of a correct exported proc via Conari. Issue #55.
       Wizard controls it via `$(DllExportPeCheck)`:
        * 0x01 bit - Will check count of all planned exports from final PE32/PE32+ module.
        * 0x02 bit - Will check existence of all planned exports (IL code) in actual PE32/PE32+ module.

* NEW: Implemented PE32/PE32+ Viewer to check manually available exports from final modules. Issue #55.
       New key for manager:
        ```
        -pe-exp-list {module} - To list all available exports from PE32/PE32+ module.
        ```

        Sample:
        ```
        DllExport -pe-exp-list bin\Debug\regXwild.dll
        ```

* FIXED: Fixed target platform detection. Issue #34.
         Details: https://github.com/3F/DllExport/issues/34#issuecomment-306171060

* FIXED: Fixed problem when the Post-Build event is triggered before our tool. Issue #35.
         Use this if still is needed:
         ```
         <Target Name="PostBuildEventBeforeDllExport" BeforeTargets="DllExportMod">
            ...
         </Target>
         ```

* FIXED: Fixed generation of exp + .lib via MS Library Manager for VS2017. Issue #37.
         Now it also includes processing through VsDevCmd & VcVarsAll initializer scripts.
         Use the folowing msbuild properties to override values by default:
         * $(DllExportVcVarsAll); $(DllExportVsDevCmd)

* FIXED: Fixes possible problem with multiple properties that contains *Undefined* word,
         e.g.: *Undefined*\path1;C:\path2 ...

* CHANGED: Added information about finding lib tool. Issue #44.

* CHANGED: UI. Selected platform now affects to all configurations of project instead of active as before.

* CHANGED: Now nuget package does not contain library in `lib/.../` Details in #36.

* CHANGED: Now we also distribute .zip package for work through our manager etc.
