Create Wheel from CMake projects

CMake Wheel

Wheel build backend using CMake, to package anything with pip and distribute on PyPI.

Following those relevant PEPs:

• PEP 427, The Wheel Binary Package Format 1.0
• PEP 517, A build-system independent format for source trees
• PEP 518, Specifying Minimum Build System Requirements for Python Projects
• PEP 600, Future ‘manylinux’ Platform Tags for Portable Linux Built Distributions
• PEP 621, Storing project metadata in pyproject.toml
• PEP 639, Improving License Clarity with Better Package Metadata, DRAFT

Basic idea

Glue between PEP 517 build_wheel function and modern CMake standard project configuration / build / test / install

This Install in ${PYTHON_SITELIB}/cmeel.prefix/:

• As there is a dot, it is not a valid python module name, so no risk of importing anything there by mistake
• Play well with others, as everything is confined to ${PYTHON_SITELIB}/cmeel.prefix
• ${PYTHON_SITELIB}/cmeel.pth automatically load ${PYTHON_SITELIB}/cmeel.prefix/${PYTHON_SITELIB}, so python packages work out of the box
• Existing ${PYTHON_SITELIB}/cmeel.prefix are automatically added to $CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, so we can build CMake packages whose dependencies are provided by other CMake packages installed with cmeel
• Stuff in ${PYTHON_SITELIB}/cmeel.prefix/bin is exposed via cmeel.run:cmeel_run
