A good way to invoke mike so it uses a mkdocs wrapper instead

[fibbo]

Is it possible to configure mike so that it doesn't use mkdocs directly, but one can provide a custom name, e.g., our-mkdocs-wrapper (that then calls mkdocs). It works by directly changing it in mkdocs_utils.py, but that's a hack, of course.

The cleanest way right now would probably be something like this:

mkdir mike_scripts
ln -s /path/to/mkdocs-wrapper mike_scripts/mkdocs
PATH=$(pwd)/mike_scripts:$PATH mike deploy ...

It'd be nice to be able to do something simpler, like MKDOCS=/path/to/mkdocs-wrapper mike deploy ..., but that's a bit of a can of worms:

1. I've written support for using env vars like that in two other projects already, and if I'm going to do it a third time, I'd like to figure out the one API to rule them all for this so I can stop making new variations.
2. I'm increasingly tempted to split the version management in mike into a separate project so that it works with other documentation tools besides MkDocs. If I add support for running programs other than mkdocs, then I wonder if I'd just be continuing down a dead end path rather than doing the right(?) thing and splitting this project in two.
