Rewrite the core in something different than bash #32

Description

@Doeme

This is not strictly necessary, but having the core written in a programming language that has access to more linux/glibc-features might be beneficial for dropping privileges when operating on a build directory (e.g. seccomp, namespaces, etc..)

The core can execute a bash-process, read the right files and pipe them into the bash-stdin.
Also, we might benefit from a less botched log-redirection feature.

I'm open for suggestions. C is of course the most feature-rich, python is usually installed on gentoo system so it might be worth a shot, and personally I'm a fan of DLang, but this has the drawback of depending on a not widely distributed compiler.
