Expected Behavior

Write a command line program that:

    Has classes to allow number of shapes to be defined: 
    square (side1), rectangle(side1, side2), circle(radius), triangle(height, base).
        Each shape class should know it's type ("Square"), how many sides it has.
        Each shape needs to be able to calculate it's perimeter and area. 
        For the triangle you can assume it is isoceles and the perimeter can be 
        computed using p = b + 2\sqrt{h^2+(b^2/4)}, where b is the base and h is the height.
    Within the Main method create a variety of the shapes and put them in a std::vector
    Create a class ShapeSorter which should contain four methods
        Print out the Shapes that match a chosen type
        Print out the Shapes that match a chosen number of sides
        Print out the Shapes in order of volume descending
        Print out the Shapes in order of perimeter descending

The buildscript and CMake config have become a little out of date. We need to do the following at a minimum:

• Update standard flag to -std=c++11 in CommonSetup.cmake
• Add the same set of compiler flags for the newstarter project as we use in mantid
• Update buildscript.py to use Visual Studio 2015
• Update buildscript.py to assume CMake is on the path for Windows
• Update buildscript.py to use gcc 4.8 on RHEL6 (scl enable devtoolset-2)

Mantid is in desperate need of a way to store and view different shapes.
