Make It Suitable For Modpacks #79

Although we normally don't need to include a launcher in the modpack, sometimes we will. As it is, we have to admit that Alicorn is too large. But, but, that is not a reason why we give up on it.

Remember AlicornWrapper? That's it! By using a small bootstrap, we can include it in the pack. All that program needs to do is find and call Alicorn, or download one if it can't find any.

I suggest that golang might be suitable for this. Who knows?

And besides, the best way still is making Electron smaller. About this, I highly disagree with a few Electron developers.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "that's the expected size"?

Finally we chose Python to complete this task, as it includes a tiny GUI lib, which is convenient. See https://github.com/Andy-K-Sparklight/AlicornToGo/issues/1 for more details.
