module: win_dotnet_ngen
version_added: "1.9"
short_description: Runs ngen to recompile DLLs after .NET  updates
description:
    - After .NET framework is installed/updated, Windows will probably want to recompile things to optimise for the host.
    - This happens via scheduled task, usually at some inopportune time.
    - This module allows you to run this task on your own schedule, so you incur the CPU hit at some more convenient and controlled time.
    - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2013/08/06/wondering-why-mscorsvw-exe-has-high-cpu-usage-you-can-speed-it-up.aspx
    - Note: there are in fact two scheduled tasks for ngen but they have no triggers so aren't a problem
    - Note: there's no way to test if they've been completed (?)
    - Note: the stdout is quite likely to be several megabytes
