[CMake] Installing cmake-2.8.4-Darwin-universal.dmg

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the link,

After reading the link below, I think I will write a little script to delete
the symlinks and see if the install works, if not then I will
write another script to create them.

Alternatively after reading your second paragraph it may be better to rename
the installation to /Applications/CMake.app and manually create the
symlinks. The for future installations all I would need to do is to do the
installation but DO NOT create the symlinks then rename the installation to
CMake.app. I generally don't keep side by side versions of CMake.

With respect to PATH, I have noticed that in some cases the PATH is ignored
in Macs but /usr/local/bin is not, hence the need for symlinks.

Thanks for the help.
   Andrew
