[CMake] Cmake with Eclipse

[Mike Jackson]

Not sure if I am going to get the time to try it out in the near  
future, though it is good to see a generator for eclipse. Not sure if  
there will be any changes needed when Eclipse 3.3/CDT4.0 finally  
arrive in the next few weeks.

Nice Effort though. Keep up the good work.
