[Viame] VIAME build error

[Matt Dawkins]

In hopes of keeping the repository small, and only pulling down
dependencies which are required, VIAME only downloads and builds
dependencies based on which enable flags are set (e.g. VIAME_ENABLE_OPENCV,
VXL, CAFFE, SCALLOP_TK, [future modules here], etc...).

To that end, it currently requires an internet connection the first time
you build it or change enable flags to something that was never enabled
before, though for Randy I'd envision us also putting up a tarbell/zip
online that contains the source code for all possible dependencies (as well
as Viame) in case the user wants to download the package once, then work
offline. This could be done for periodic releases, though we'll have to
discuss a little bit more first and check if that's the best solution
longer term (short term for today, we'll post the standalone code package
online with a link; note it is ~220mb with everything included, or 50mb for
the core package with few of the enable options set).

This will get a little bit more complicated down the line when you are
talking about optional algorithm repositories (e.g.
ENABLE_detector_1_from_group_a) which can contain model files that often
large, think CNN classifiers which can be 100mb+ each, though they could be
supplied separately in another tarbell. Also, looking a little further down
the road here, we can probably provide compiled binaries as well (and
automate their creation online), in case the user simply wants to link to
the entire library or run something in it.
