MS is deprecating inline assembly, and has completely removed it from
the x64 compiler. The solution is to use compiler intrinsics. This will
hopefully make building for x64 easier in the future. (I might even
spend some time attempting to build it for x64).
This attempts to organize all needed items and places appropriate defines
in a single location. Redundant comparisons/defines were removed when noticed.
A few caveats, however:
* This may be better targeted towards the 5_1_0 branch instead of master right now.
* Cmake will run a little slower on configuration/generation now. That's due to the sanity checks it runs.
* There are some more checks to be added later, but this should be a solid start.

tl-dr: view the Build directory to see.
This is intended to replace the project files that we presently maintain
so that only a single set is needed instead of multiples.
The following setups were used for testing:
* Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013 Desktop Express
* Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2012
* Mac OS X Mavericks and Xcode
* Ubuntu and makefiles
* Fedora 21 and makefiles
All three operating systems can generate projects, compile, link, and
run. Windows and Mac OS X users will find their compiled binary in the
same location as before, but Linux users will be surprised: it goes
straight into the root directory, along with a symlinked GtkModules.so
as appropriate. There is no more need for a manual symlinking step.
Known issues:
* At this time, MinGW likely does not work. Extra time will be needed.
* The WITH_JPEG option may go away, and we'll just always require it.
* Some linux libraries can use the system equivalents, but that is not up yet.
