This includes the basic CMake infrastructure for building and executing the test
suite. Four test categories have been added - unit, system/functional, GUI, and
simgear unit tests. The test suite is run by typing 'make test_suite'.
All of the fgfs sources are included in the new run_test_suite executable,
excluding the bootstrap routine and its main() function. The test suite
currently consists of a single dummy unit test for the NasalSys subsystem, and a
single demonstration simgear/props unit test.
By default, if the system version exists and can be used,
then it will be used. Otherwise, the local version will be used

Check for the 3rdparty dir in the parent of build dir, not the parent of the source dir. For the recommended build layout, this is the same location, but for super-builds using fgmeta it's not (and the source tree should not be touched).
If this causes anyone issues, please let me know, since it's possible more flexibility is needed to set the path explicitly.
Ubuntu/Debian introduced "multiarch" library directories, which is
unsupported by CMake <= 2.8.10. Add manual search paths as a workaround.
Currently it is only needed for libsvn, but it is needed for any lib
which is converted to the new directory standard.
Keep distro packagers happy by having the option to use the system's sqlite library instead of our bundled version. Set SYSTEM_SQLITE=1 when running cmake to use the system one.
Distros like Debian/Ubuntu use architecture-specific directory structures
(like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu) which we cannot hardcode/guess, so we
really need to search the default paths.
so package builders don't need local patches.
Also, instead of hardcoded firefox, use "xdg-open" or "sensible-browser"
launchers on Linux, to auto-detect user's preferred browser.
Override with cmake switch -DWEB_BROWSER=...
(Not affecting Mac/Win which are hard-coded anyway).
