static link UI executable

[peter1591]

Three different parts in our UI:

1. Simulation engine and AI engine are compiled in native C++ code
2. They are statically linked in a managed C++/CLI dll
3. The UI part compile as another executable

When running our UI (i.e., 3 above), we also need the C++/CLI dll (i.e., 2 above)

ILMerge (https://github.com/Microsoft/ILMerge) can be used to merge them into one final executable.

What do you mean? What file do we merge?

The .dll build from the CppCLI project. Now this is done automatically by the dependency rules in the VS project files.
