Add a new section of build_package.cmake which sets and uses the WIX toolset to build a Windows executable. Prevent the system libraries from being written to prevent duplications of the files in the installer. When packaging is selected, force off "VIAME_DOWNLOAD_MODELS" as Wix has a file size limit of 2GB for data.
Add a small example of a network installer using Wix, which involved generating an installer for the VIAME Sea Lion data. Then, adding that installer to the chain of installs.
Add a new python file to generate the supplementary installer automatically. It also writes out the chain XML needed to be brought into the WiX install.
Use the multiprocessing library to spawn multiple processes for each of the objects that we are trying to create. This can be controlled by passing a "-j" argument to the python script to determine the number of processes that can be used. It will default to "4".
To avoid a potential problem with a HEAD request and GitHub's AWS hosting, use urllib to download the VIAME Dive installer and "compress" it into the main installer so that it doesn't need to be re-downloaded. See comment in generate_viame_installers for link to issue about requests.
For HabCam models and GPU version of GUI.
Remove unnecessary button and use a format which properly adds the link to the license and requires selection of agreement before installing.
