Layout of directories:

  REPO_DIR
    external  -- cmake scripts to download/build dependancies
    bindings
        py   -- Location of Python bindings
          packaging -- Contains things needed to build package
          cpp_src 
            bindings  -- C++ pybind11 mapping source code 
            plugin    -- C++ code to manage python plugin
        tests       -- Unit test for python interface
    py
        htm           -- python source code goes here
        tests
    src
        htm           -- C++ source code goes here
        examples
        tests
    build             -- where all things modified by the build are placed (disposible)
        ThirdParty    -- where all thirdParty packages are installed.
        scripts       -- temporary build files
        Release       -- Where things are installed

This is where we build the distribution package:

  REPO_DIR
     build
        Release
            bin         --- Contains executables for unit tests and examples
            include     --- Include C++ header files
            lib         --- Static & Dynamic compiled libraries for htm core found here
