Some additional information.

1) cmake3 is available on all currently supported systems:

- SL6 (el6), CentOS7 (el7): yum install cmake3 (from EPEL) (invoke as "cmake3")
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: apt-get install cmake (invoke as "cmake").
- MacOS: install "mac ports", then "port install cmake"
- Windows - we hope to revive windows10 support this summer

The old "linux", "darwin", etc subdirectories go away. Makefiles for frontends and analyzers become simplified
and can refer to MIDAS in a standard way:

header files: -I$(MIDASSYS)/include
libraries and object files: -L$(MIDASSYS)/build/lib -lmidas
executables: PATH += $(MIDASSYS)/build/bin

We will review the situation with cross-compilation once the dust settles a little bit on changes
with cmake and with the switch to C++.

Since cross-compilation environments are rarely standardized, I do not expect cmake to be of much help and most
likely we will have a simplified Makefile for cross-building feature-reduced versions of MIDAS - probably only
the pieces needed for running remotely-connected frontends (see "ifdef LOCAL_ROUTINES").
