Autobuilder Support for C++ with Gradle

[JLLeitschuh]

Description of the issue

Gradle can be used to compile/test native C++ code. It would be nice if the autobuilder supported executing Gradle to build C/C++ code.

Demo/POC can be seen here:

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll take this as a data point, and I'll keep watching for other requests to support Gradle.

Should this stay open?

Yes, let's keep this issue open. The auto-close bot is new, and we're going to change it so it'll be less eager.
