> By adding a the infamous *gradle wrapper script* (this is the idiom in gradle - to use the wrapper instead of a local gradle install) into our VCS, we gaurantee that the gradle tricks we implement will be running the exact same on all systems, no matter what.
> - Also, it opens the tests up to be runnable by anyone, even those who don't have gradle installed.
> - Finally, gradle wrapper will embolden us to be able to use more sophisticated gradle tricks newer features, b/c we will know that they run the same in all environments.
