[ros-dev] 1296 [dreimer] Get the cmake path from a system variable called _ROSBE_CMAKEPATH. Hard coding is eeevul!

[Daniel Reimer]

After the chat with zwabbit yesterday i feared exactly this will happen. 
I think we have two ways to add cmake to RosBE.

1. Let the Installer load the setup and run it silently in the background.
2. Bundle a minimal Version.

I dont really like the idea to make users be forced to load cmake from 
an external link and install it afterwards. So lets choose between these 
two ways. I agree, some ppl have a cmake version already installed, but 
this does not stop us to provide it for the rest in one or another way.
