Why separate installers for x64/ARM?

Just do what every software company this side of the century does: a 400kb installer which lets you select the packages you want, and downloads them.

Spoke with Amine and Daniel.  I've agreed to the lesser evil of bundling the FULL cmake.  Reasons are if we want the BE to be flexible enough to be used for more than just building ROS, we can't gimp cmake with the belief that no one will need the things we didn't include.  This is again on Windows.  I remain uninvolved with decisions about the Linux BE.

My vote on this:
CMake: bundle it, optional on installation
x64/arm: create individual installers

* CMake: bundle it, go for the (minimal) version without an installer. It's nothing "exotic" to install after all, just put it together with the other utilities in RosBE.

* x64/arm: If build tool sizes are staying like this, create individual installers. Just for testing, I'll try an x86/x64 multilib build of Binutils and GCC though, would be nice to know how much smaller it is compared to separate x86 and x64 compilers.

So in general, I agree with Timo :-)
