I've spent too many hours of my life bending over backwards trying to satisfy
native libraryies' build systems. The most recent pain is that informing a
native build system of its dependencies (such as telling libgit2 where libssh2
is installed) is an absolute never-ending nightmare.

The towel is now thrown in as cmake is jettisoned and this is now just using
the cc crate to directly compile all the various C code.

For some more info see alexcrichton/curl-rust#225
