[Plib-devel] cmake support for plib

[Ralf H. <ra...@ha...>]

Hi,

the appended patch adds cmake support http://www.cmake.org to plib. 
cmake supports allows to build static plib out of the box on windows for 
several compilers .

The following generators are available on this platform:
   Borland Makefiles           = Generates Borland makefiles.
   MSYS Makefiles              = Generates MSYS makefiles.
   MinGW Makefiles             = Generates a make file for use with 
mingw32-make.
   NMake Makefiles             = Generates NMake makefiles.
   NMake Makefiles JOM         = Generates JOM makefiles.
   Unix Makefiles              = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.
   Visual Studio 10            = Generates Visual Studio 10 project files.
   Visual Studio 10 Win64      = Generates Visual Studio 10 Win64 
project files.
   Visual Studio 6             = Generates Visual Studio 6 project files.
   Visual Studio 7             = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2002 
project files.
   Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003   = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2003 
project files.
   Visual Studio 8 2005        = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2005 
project files.
   Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64  = Generates Visual Studio .NET 2005 Win64 
project files.
   Visual Studio 9 2008        = Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 project 
files.
   Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64  = Generates Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64 
project files.
   Watcom WMake                = Generates Watcom WMake makefiles.
   CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles= Generates CodeBlocks project files.
   CodeBlocks - NMake Makefiles= Generates CodeBlocks project files.
   CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles = Generates CodeBlocks project files.
   Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
   Eclipse CDT4 - NMake Makefiles = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.
   Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles = Generates Eclipse CDT 4.0 project files.

This patch obsolates the recently used *.dsp and *.dsw files, because 
they could be generated by a specific cmake generator (=Visual Studio xxx)

It would be nice if cmake support would be a part of further releases of 
plib.
