Anton's answer was only partly correct. At some point cmake was actually
able to build Subsurface. I added the cmake files because Tomaz wanted to
use that for the unit tests, but at this point no one is maintaining the
cmake infrastructure.

I have no interest in using it, my whole CI system is based around our
qmake based setup. I'll happily take patches (that don't break anything
else).

Cool. Please send a patch.
