Should we put the CMake files in a dedicated folder called "windows" or
something like that? Otherwise we will have the CMakeList file, and the
existing makefile and config files (which are not touched by this pull request)
coexisting under the C client folder. This might create confusions for user
because makefile can be generated from the CMakeList file, so the question of
which makefile is the source of truth and so on...
Ultimately we might drop existing makefiles in favor of the CMake so build
files across every platform are generated by a single source of truth
(cmakelist), but that's more scope of work (the ant build file has to be
modified and the system requirements of ZK has to be updated to make cmake a
dependency for source installations etc to avoid break existing workflows), so
for now I think it's good to scope cmake so it only impact windows C client
builds.
