If we were to do this then we'd probably want to add it as an option
configure.ac and plumb it through etc. Wecould make it autodetect cmake
and build if it can.

Actually, even if we don't do this then configure.ac needs to check for
cmake as well as updating the README.

This is this line:
        cd $@/build; cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=${CC} 
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-std=c99 -DTPM_NO_EXTERN $(TARGET_CPPFLAGS) $(TARGET_CFLAGS) 
-Wno-declaration-after-statement"

I took a look and the affect of doing this is not something we can
encode in the tpm_emulator.patch
