[Cmake] cDart anybody?

[Marco Petrone]

I would very appreciate a simplification of the Dart System, and 
starting with lighter client, at least for CMake users, could be a good 
start point

When I read Dart's docs the first time, the list of required software to 
setup a client+server installation sounded a bit too long: 
CMake+Tcl+Perl+Java+FtpServer, plus the possible permissions issues on 
the server side filesystems.
