Patch file for SDL HG, apply with patch -p1 < cmake_20120827.diff

Based on the discussion of http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2012-August/085408.html, I created a CMake-based build system for SDL2, which can be used as replacement or alternative to the autotools-based building for SDL2, as described in http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2012-August/085504.html.

The build system has been tested sucessfully with FreeBSD, various Linux distributions, VS.NET 2010, MinGW and Msys, on 64-bit and 32-bit platforms. Also, it was reported to work for XCode.

It does not alter any existing configuration and hence can live side-by-side with the existing projects and build systems, that currently exist.

Updated patch file for SDL HG, apply with patch -p1 < cmake_20120919.diff

This removes the recently dropped Windows CE support code portions and fixes a minor issue with building only the static OR shared library.

Updated patch file for SDL HG, apply with patch -p1 < cmake_20121020.diff

This adds the libm/* source code files to the project to reflect recent change for the MinGW ABI compatibility as of rev:dccafb0699dc (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/dccafb0699dc)
Comment 3 Alex Barry 2012-10-23 09:17:21 UTC 
To incorporate cygwin with gcc >= 4.0, I changed CMakeLists.txt with the following (sorry, no patch...does this make me a bad person?) [changes lines 147-153]:

if(CYGWIN)
  if(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION MATCHES ".*3\\.[0-9].*")
    include_directories("-I/usr/include/mingw")
    list(APPEND EXTRA_LDFLAGS "-mno-cygwin")
    set(SDL_CFLAGS "${SDL_CFLAGS} -I/usr/include/mingw")
    list(APPEND SDL_LIBS "-mno-cygwin")
  endif(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION MATCHES ".*3\\.[0-9].*")
endif(CYGWIN)

Sam gave the go ahead, so I can apply this on the official repository if you'd like, can you update the patch and let me know?

I added a README.cmake file and changed the in source build error to be a bit more descriptive. In my Ubuntu 12.04 system it seems to work great, awesome job!
