Too many issues with Exorcism and crud. Just plain an exercise in frustration. #1248

Description

@MCasteele

I keep having issures/failures, the download for Windows' 64-bit is a zip file, but the *.exe inside the zip file throws a window s' error: this app ccannot be run on your computer. it's sad, because I already have msys2 (MinG-Win 64 bit), lua, perl, pythhon, tcl, free pascal, free basic, and virtual machines (dos-box-x, virtual box, etc,) all, installed here, but your apps and exercises cannot/will not use any of that! it's bad, because I am using the lua and tcl tracks, and interestted in the python and perl ones, but while I can and do) use my local installed lua/tcl/python, perl, etc, there's no easy was to integrate them with exorcism (yes, I knowv kt'scexercism, but with all the black magic and evil curses dso far, exorcism is more appropriate!

Most of those have easy ways to integrate extra libs (pure code or .dlls, such as PurePerl modules, or Tcl(/tk) packages), they are useless with the Exorcism main site/apps.
