[opensource-dev] Update Linux Build Documentation, please?

[Tapple Gao]

I'm on Gentoo Linux, and the build instructions for Linux [1] have
never worked for me (./develop.py cmake; ./develop.py build).
I've talked with some people on IRC, and I'm now under the
impression that develop.py is rather obsolete, which may be part
of my problem. However, that doesn't really help me, as I have
no idea how to use cmake.

Also, the build instructions have a lot of caveats for
standalone builders, which, as someone who has never even been
able to complete a non-standalone build, I am rather confused
by.

So, I'd like it if someone could update the linux build
documentation, and make it really easy for first-time
(non-standalone) builders to follow:

- Show how to use cmake rather than develop.py
- seperate out standalone and non-standalone into seperate
  documents

As an aside, the Imprudence viewer team has really overhauled
the build process, and as a result, Imprudence is the only
viewer that is actually able to find all my libraries and
complete a build from an svn checkout. I would strongly suggest
you integrate their build changes into the main viewer.

If there is really going to be more focus on open source, it is
really important to make sure new people like me are able to
compile the viewer from source.
