[Bf-committers] mac OSX 10.10.5 and Xcode 7 cmake fix

[Sergey Sharybin]

Levon, is the OSX and new XCode officially released or they're still on the
beta state?

In any case, the patch lacks two things:

- SCons needs support of new XCode as well
- The patch moves requirenment for a new CMake from 14.0 to 14.5

Campbell, don't think we really looked into making XCode detection smarter
in CMake. It's probably possible, but to me patch is good enough (apart
form two points raised above).

I would be conservative here storngly suggest not doing more global changes
here unless it's done by someone who actually uses the platform, ready to
solve regressions and so on.
