On non-Unix-like systems, use the "cmake" utility (available from
http://cmake.org/) to generate suitable build files for your platform.
Cmake requires the name of the directory containing CmakeLists.txt and
the "generator" to use for your build environment. For example, to
build with Xcode on Mac OS, you can use the following command:
cmake -G "Xcode" ~/libarchive-download-dir/
