Title: Refactor hardcoded tool paths in mkconcore.py to allow configuration #247

Description

@avinxshKD

I've been exploring mkconcore.py and noticed that several external tool paths and executable names (specifically CPPWIN, CPPEXE, VWIN, VEXE, etc.) are hardcoded at the top of the script.

While MCRPATH has a mechanism to be overridden via a concore.mcr file, the other tools do not. This limits portability, for example, it prevents users from easily swapping g++ for clang, or using tools that aren't in the system PATH without modifying the source code.

I think we should refactor this to load these values from a configuration file (like a config.ini) or checks for environment variables, falling back to these defaults.
