the portions of the code that look up system dlls don't work on linux. This could be improved, especially for .net core...

I'm leaving this as an issue rather than just addressing it because I'm not sure if there is any interest in it.

as title

This is a great library, thank you very much!

In case you're interested: here are two fixes to make it work on Linux with Mono: rochus-keller/PeLib@a5e2be2.
I also had to make these fixes so it compiles with GCC 4.8: rochus-keller/PeLib@7383b0e.

update DotNetPELib to support .net core

the way i envision it going is to load hostfxr.dll to get the .net core path and then link as normal... both applications and libraries are compiled as shared libraries in .net core. For the apps, there is an application stub that you copy to the destination directory and rename, then you stuff the created DLL name into it and maybe sign it, and finally, you have a running application. I think it also uses hostfxr.dll to set up the .net core environment somehow....

the application stub source code is available here on github as part of the .net core runtime project and is MIT licensed. So no problems there...

The one unknown is that I saw a comment somewhere about how it is no longer possible to link directly against mscorlib.dll any more, you have to somehow link to something else. I'll work that out when I get into this...
