Switch to a JS task-runner?

[jordanyaker]

After a couple weeks of working with Azure functions and trying to get the pack tool to fit my workflow, I was left with some feels about the following aspects of the pack tool:

• It modified the files in-place instead of putting them in another location (thus necessitating un-pack).
• Not cross-platform.
• Didn't allow for easy modification, or customization of the packing. I use config and this is a big problem.

Instead of just logging a trouble ticket griping about it, I decided to see what I could do with Gulp and some build tasks. In 30 minutes, I had a workable solution. I have uploaded the core file and the related task files here.

Hopefully this adds some value to the project/community.
