[feature request] conda + pip installation recipes

Of CGAL + cgal-bindings. Please :)

We have an experimental Pypi package, here: https://test.pypi.org/project/cgal/

As for Conda, the package already exists, but it is not owned/managed by CGAL developers: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/cgal

@lrineau Please see issue #200 . I have been having this issue building the Python CGAL libraries using this as well. Is this experimental package supposed to replace cgal-bindings?

https://test.pypi.org/project/cgal/ is not a replacement of cgal-bindings, but an alternate way of installing it: it is a precompiled package that Python's pip tool can install.

@lrineau Thank you for your reply, and thank you for the alternate installation method. Can you please advise on #200? I am getting the same error and am not able to compile CGAL after attempting to follow the Wiki page installation instructions.
