Building snark with opencv

Windows

Pre-built packages exist, meaning you don't need to build opencv on windows to link snark to it.

The following was tested with version 2.4.6.0

1. download the pre-built windows package: [http://opencv.org/downloads.html]
2. run the installer to extract to somewhere/opencv
3. in cmake for snark, delete any previous references to opencv, hit configure
4. set OpenCV_DIR = somewhere/opencv/build
5. hit configure and everything should be set automatically

As an added bonus, the pre-built package comes with full source. This means if you share your windows code directory with a linux virtual box, you can build against the same source in linux. Just create a directory in linux for the build and target the root directory of the package (somewhere/source) with cmake.
