Title: Bf cpp windows

The purpose of this branch was to make BF-CPP compatible with the upcoming Bio-Formats 4.4 release. If this branch is not merged, BF-CPP will not work with Bio-Formats 4.4.

This branch updates BF-CPP to use the most recent versions of cppwrap and jar2lib. The primary result of these options is full cross-platform compatibility (for OSX/Windows/Linux).

To test this branch, you should build BF-CPP on Windows, OSX and Linux and ensure the wrapped libraries are working properly (which can be accomplished via the showinf executable that is included in BF-CPP).

To build BF-CPP, you can use the deploy.sh in the components/scifio/cppwrap directory.
This will create a target/cppwrap directory with a CMakeLists.txt that you may have to manually configure and build (should work automatically as part of the build.sh script on OSX and Linux).
After building, a wrapped scifio library + necessary files (including showinf.exe) will be copied to target/cppwrap/build/dist/scifio/ for testing
