Build Process

With the SDL rewrite on-going, I have also been studying a cleaner build process. I have recently been switching back and forth between Windows and Linux, and the reliance on Visual Studio needs to be fixed.
I have been able to build the project with cmake under Ubuntu, and would like a solution to make the repo compile under all platforms, or at least be platform-agnostic.
The solution may be to write a cross-platform cmake list that can be used to compile under each platform. Not a process I am familiar with, but will continue to work on.
QT Creator has been working fine for me for reading cmake files.

9a10516 modifies cmake lists to compile under OSX and Linux with default SDL2 installs. Still need to figure out either a VS solution or possibly compiling under minGW.

The steps for compiling under MSVC:

1. Create SDL2 directory for include and lib, extracting correct arch type.
2. Set up include and library directories under Project Directories -> VC++ Directories.
3. Set up linker input libraries underneath Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.
4. Set subsystem to console subsystem type in Linker -> System -> SubSystem.
5. Set _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS in C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions.
6. Don't forget to include SDL2main and build as Release.

This will get it built pretty quickly under Visual Studio. I would still like to get minGW figured out, however. Being able to use one cmake solution for every platform is not mandatory, but pretty desirable.
