Hi Bill,

here is up-to-date cmake file:

   https://github.com/syntheticpp/dartruntime/tree/cmake

It works on Win, Linux, Mac and ll gtest based unit test passes.
The cmake file is in misc/.

I also asked for adding this one file to the official code, but as
always, adding a new build system is like wanting them switching religion...

Feel free to patch this file for your needs, or ask for new features
I will add them.
