MIPS CPU simulator, CMake

Today I've published the first version of a MIPS CPU simulator; you can read more about it here. Even though the version number is 0.9, the program is not in any case beta: it is quite stable, CPU torture tests pass in 32-bit and 64-bit environments, and there seems to be no open security holes, though error "reporting" is sometimes unfriendly: the simulator shall call abort() if the simulated program tries to access memory outside of its allocated range.. but I think that's still way better than doing random stuff to random memory. Work on better error handling is the top priority right now.

I'm also using this opportunity to learn about the CMake build system.
