All good things come in threes and that's why besides autotools and gyp,
you can now also build everyone's favorite platform abstraction library
with cmake.
This is Ouroboros eating its own tail in a way because cmake depends on
libuv, depends on cmake, depends on libuv, depends on... inception!
Things it does:
* build the shared library
* build the static library
* install the shared library
* install the static library
* install the header files
* install libuv.pc
Things it does not yet do:
* build or install the documentation
* build or execute the test suite
* produce a release tarball
* provide auto-config for downstream cmake-based projects

This follows common pkg-config configuration files and allows for certain
pkg-config overrides to work. For example, when cross-compiling it is common to
have to set a different pkg-config prefix through either '--define-prefix' or a
'PKG_CONFIG_LIBUV_PREFIX' environment variable. If the 'exec_prefix' is
hardcoded to '@prefix@' then it will not pick up those pkg-config overrides.
