Use Cake instead of Bash and PowerShell build scripts #30
Cake offers a C#-based DSL for describing how a project should be built. So instead of maintaining the build.sh and build.ps1 scripts for building, a single build.cake file is enough.
The Cake bootstrappers (Cake's own build.sh and build.ps1 scripts) make sure all build-time dependencies are installed on the build system.
It can also be combined with Octopus for Deployments with OctopusDeploy. When using Octopus, we should separate the build and deployment phases and the tools used for them.
build: Cake. Don't use deployment API or Addins (like GitReleaseManager).
deploy: Octopus.
For deploying via Octopus, there's a separate issue: #31
Note: Before moving to Cake, we need to make sure everything that's currently done in the build scripts can be done with Cake and also if building with Cake works in a Docker container.
