I just saw the libuv library in the CMake sources.

Does that mean it's only there for some specific scenarios and shouldn't
be used in general?

IIUC this is about the CPU affinity for child processes?
Looks nice, but in AUTOMOC/UIC it's sufficient to just known which child
processes are running and to get a notification when one has finished.
I think that this level of control is available in libuv already.
