[Cmake] CMSYSTEMTOOLS_STANDALONE

[Ken Martin]

cmSystemTools shold not use the cmMakefile. The FindLibrary command in
cmSystem tools should be reworked so that it doesn't use the makefile.
Instead the Makefile will have its own FindLibrary command that handles
the odd cases. I've been meaning to do this and it will clean up some of
these issues. I'll take a stab at it this week.

Thanks
Ken

I fixed most of the problems so that CMakeLib could be a DLL, (briefly
it was for about a week) But STL under MSVC6 has problems with DLLs and
iterators and it turned out that I didn't need it to be a DLL and it
made the code more of a mess so I changed it back to static.
