[cgma-dev] Opencascade directory missing from link line

[Iulian Grindeanu]

Thanks Jed, 

Jane, please review this patch. Did you compile cgm trunk against OpenCascade ? 
On my laptop (ubuntu 12.04), I need something like this. Maybe I am adding too much, maybe only occ lib path should be added, we have a variable OCC_LIB_FLAG, that usually is defined with -L/path/to/occ/lib, after configuration. 

Thanks, 
Iulian

| Pass -L/path/to/opencascade/lib.
