I don't think it's a good idea to try to emulate this stuff.
First, it's possible to get rid of CRT startup code using appropriate compiler/linker options
(resulting binary will be pure IL).
Next, to emulate you would need to find managed entry point (in the simplest case, assuming
CRT startup is the only native code in the binary), I have no idea how to do this.
I would simply reject binaries with embedded native code.
