I can take care of the details of getting libuv enabled as a third-party
package within CMake.  I've just been waiting for time to do it and an
initial use case.  Daniel, if you are interested in this I once started
a prototype to convert cmSystemTools::RunSingleCommand over to libuv
that you could take over finishing.  Once you have it working I can look
at making libuv available in `master`.
