A .cmake file is probably a bit more than just useful if we want to take
advantage of the cross-platform features of CMake.

An awkwardness with pkg-config + CMake is that we need a FindFoo.cmake
file for each dependency, then we also need to create a pkg-config for
each dependency, both of which do more or less the same thing. We
created pkg-config files with SCons, so hopefully this is just as easy
with CMake.
