[Bf-committers] cmake OS X blender

[Campbell Barton]

Regarding the make stub. Yes, its no use for windows, though if
someone want to make blender on OSX they can use this instead of XCode
(assuming they just want to get blender built with minimum fuss).

The newly added message blender prints out will show before crashing,
 fprintf(stderr, "Warning! bundled python not found and is expected on
this platform. (if you built with CMake: 'install' target may have not
been built)\n");

With this and docs giving steps to building blender correctly, this
should be enough.

Realize this is frustrating since we didn't even have CMake/MSVC docs
at the time
