Fix app makefiles so they can use a "common" directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

findFile is in cudpp_testrig and we'd like to use it in satGL too. But 
linux_build/common.mk doesn't like a source file that's 
"../common/findFile.cpp". Mark's expressed interest (long term) in upgrading 
common.mk to handle this. (Or anyone else who knows how to fix this, awesome!)

I was wondering if it wouldn't make sense to migrate the build system to CMake 
(or at least to offer this as an alternative). After checking out everything 
from Subversion I had considerable troubles to get everything to build on my 
MacbookPro, such that I decided to create an additional route to build 
libraries and applications. The nice thing about CMake (www.cmake.org) is, that 
it allows to keep configuration and build instructions for multiple platforms 
within one set of configuration files; while on Unix-type systems the default 
output is a standard makefile, generators exist for a number of IDEs (such as 
XCode, CodeBlocks, Eclipse, KDevelop3) as well. For a while now NVIDIA has been 
contributing to CMake in order to provide official CUDA support, which means 
that dealing with CUDA-type libraries/applications come as part of CMake.

Got rid of cutil and provided common app utilities with revisions 164 and 165. 
The utilities are all headers so no makefile changes needed.

Regarding CMAKE, I don't like it's lack of support for msvc .rules files.
