Utility to run benchmarks outside Visual Studio

[arepetti]

Currently to execute a benchmark you need Visual Studio (where you write and compile code). A small utility where you can write benchmark code (without Intellisense but with syntax highlighter) and run/view test results may be useful.

Same utility may also benchmark a set of given already compiled assemblies eventually selecting specific methods to test. It may work also simply generating benchmark code to invoke those methods - if public - because for this kind of tests we.assume that function call overhead is almost negligible.

Command line support would also be a nice feature (for example as a simple msbuild support).
