review for BCM.

Hi Paul,

I've surely missed the announce of BCM.

Could you give the link to the doc and git repository?

Oops, sorry:

It makes sense to have a standard repository of cmake modules that can be acquired during the build process and shared among all the projects.

I have over 10 years experience using cmake on both large commercial projects as well as open source projects (Apache Thrift is in the middle of converting from automake) on Windows and Linux.  If you need another pair of eyes on reviews I'd be happy to do so.

Some more feedback and contributions would be great, especially before the formal review.

Has a baseline minimum cmake version been established yet?  I'd recommend at least 3.2.3 to make sure the language support for C++ is there, especially in configuration; and later would be even better.

I am using cmake 3.5 as a minimum. Its whats included in Ubuntu 16.04 by default. .
