Integrate Monero as Submodule similar to Monero-Core

[dternyak]

It would be great for higher-level language developers (like me) who aren't as familiar with C++ to be able to build the blockchain explorer with a one-time script.

Could something similar to the build.sh that Monero-Core has be implemented? This appears to rely on having Monero as a submodule, which I think would be beneficial even without the build script.

Eager to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks. The work to simplify the build is already undertaken, but not yet in the explorer. OpenMonero project is already using FindMonero.cmake module of cmake to making building a bit easier. My aim is to make it as easy as building cpp-ethereum, and in fact FindMonero.cmake is already based on cpp-ethereum cmake modules. When it will be ready, I don't know unfortunately. First need to finish few things with explorer, openmonero, also trying to upgrade custom lmdb database to bring it back to the explorer. Lots of things are happening, only time is needed.

Awesome. The work you're doing is really valuable, and I'm excited to see it to continue to progress.

If you ever run into a need for funding, please make a FFS and I will be the first to back it.

Building process has been simplified from this commit: 4fc3313

Now only downloading and compilation of monero is needed. Its not required anymore to copy anything to /opt/monero-dev or any other location.

New, hopefully easier instruction are in README.

This has also been added to pure_css_try branch.

If you have some questions, comments or problems, please let me know.

@moneroexamples Awesome! I'm going to play around with this tonight.
