    Migrate build system to CMake.
    
    I've been heading in this direction for most of my projects recently.
    In Halibut it's less critical than in some of them (in that Halibut
    was pure autotools, and didn't have its own makefile-building script
    requiring a lot of maintenance). But I think it's still a net benefit.
    
    Upsides:
    
     + CMake can treat Windows as a first-class citizen, so it should make
       life a lot easier for anyone wanting to run Halibut on Windows. (In
       particular, this will also make it easy to add per-platform
       handling of things like file names, by having CMake choose which
       platform source file to include.)
    
     + CMake doesn't require a preliminary step of building the configure
       script, so the build instructions now don't have to be confusingly
       different depending on whether a user has cloned the git repository
       or unpacked a distribution tarball.
    
    Downside:
    
     - CMake itself needs to be present to build the program at all,
       unlike autotools which only needs to be there when the tarball was
       built. So this adds an extra build-time dependency for users
       accustomed to using the tarball. However, it's a very standard and
       well-known one these days.
