A Gradle plugin named gradle-launch4j [1] is used to prevent launch4j from requiring a separate installation. [1]: https://github.com/TheBoegl/gradle-launch4j
This fixes the file name from `lauch4j_config.xml` to `launch4j_config.xml`.
Launch4j config directives using absolute paths, dependent on the build machine, are replaced with launch4j plugin configuration using relative paths. By the same token, a version number variable is used to reduce the number of manual operations needed to prepare new releases. `vifeco.exe` can be compiled via `.\gradlew createExe` on Windows and `gradle createExe` on other systems (tested building on Mac OS then running on Windows, with encouraging results).
