[CMake] Eclipse CDT 4.0 + CMake (2.8.0)

[Michael Jackson]

The downside of Option #2 is that Eclipse will end up putting  
the .project and .cproject files in your source directory which some  
folks did not like, which is why they wrote the Eclise CDT generator.  
For me, Option #2 is worth the couple of downsides.

<disclaimer> I also wrote the Wiki entry for option #2 so I am partial  
to it.</disclaimer>

If you are using CMake with Eclipse you might want to have a look at <http://cmakeed.sourceforge.net 
 >. If you _do_ use CMakeEd, please do post feedback to the CMakeEd  
forums on Sourceforge letting us know if you find it useful or not.

<disclaimer-2>I helped write CMakeEd</disclaimer-2>
