[CMake] Eclipse CDT and CMake

[Mike Jackson]

For me it wasn't much of a PITA as more of a trial an error until I  
got a system that works for my particular workflow. The biggest thing  
to realize about combining the two was that a true "out of source"  
was not letting eclipse work to its full potential. Creating the  
"Build" directory within the project directory was one of the major  
"Ah HAH!" moments for me.

I posted a pretty terse tutorial about getting Eclipse and Cmake  
working together. Not quite "in harmony" but pretty darn close. It  
really needs to be cleaned up, pictures added and edited some more  
but the basics are there.

If you need help trying it out, then let me know. I'll try my best to  
answer as much as I can. Sometimes there are caveats about the two  
that I have just gotten used to doing and forget to mention them.

Cheers.
Thanks for the encouragement.
