VXL and CMake

It is suggested that students make use of the excellent VXL computer vision library. VXL is a cross platform library, so you can use it on linux, windows and several other platforms. VXL is installed on the local machines in /home/pyrotechnic/m/mccane/vxlbin.
For it's build system, VXL uses CMake, which is a cross-platform make. An example vxl program file which you may find useful can be found here.
