[CMake] A little script for creating symlinks for CMake on a Mac.

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi Robert

Tried it but it doesn't work. It failed with this message: "Failed create
symlink installation may be incomplete: /usr/local/bin/ccmake". The problem
is that I run as an ordinary user without admin privileges so sudo is
required. I have always had this issue with CMake on the Mac hence the
little script.

However opening the Applications folder in a terminal then doing:
sudo bash
CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui

Then run from the CMake GUI:
 "Tools->Install For Command Line Use"

works OK.

Remember to exit from the GUI and then close the terminal.

Regards
   Andrew
