[Dart] Sweeping Dart changes

[Blezek, Daniel J (CRD)]

Brad,

  This is true.  One thought that Jim and I had was to supply a autoconf style configuration for
Dart, that would look up path's and such to configure Dart.  Do you have any suggestions for
non-CMake projects?  One possibility was to use tcl to find these things, as it would be relatively
cross platform, but then we end up duplicating much of what CMake has done.
