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.
Thanks to the [libical](https://github.com/libical/libical) project for inspiration.
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.
