The only file necessary is CMakeLists.txt.

1. Make it ready to be dropped right into the source directory of libuv obtainable from https://github.com/libuv/libuv, and allow people to start a build using cmake right away.

2. Make it possible to build and install libuv under a separate build directory that is not a subdirectory of the source directory.

3. The gyp stuff in libuv seems a bunch of unnecessary nonsense (not a criticism to you, of course).

Hi @petten, about 1) you might copy the CMakeLists.txt file in your libuv clone and try setting LIBUVDIR to ., the problem of not using a submodule is that you wouldn't know to what libuv version the CMakeLists.txt is related to. 2) I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but is not that already possible using cmake? e.g. mkdir ~/my-build-dir && cd ~/my-build-dir && cmake ~/src/libuv-cmake -G Ninja
