Use CMake for building. Crude, but effective.

This is what I use for building Spearmint on Steam Deck. I realize it's very crude, but it worked for me so far.

It's interesting as a close (incomplete) direct port of the Makefile to CMake (different from the three open CMake PRs for ioquake3) but I don't want to take on maintaining CMake support (especially if it's not upstream in ioquake3).

I also don't understand why this is needed for building on Steam Deck as it's based on Arch Linux and presumably should be able to build with the Makefile directly using the make command. You could open an issue with why make doesn't work on Steam Deck and see if we could figure that out.

Installing make on Steam Deck requires root password, and it doesn't play well with system updates. Thanks for the link on existing PRs, I'll be sure to check! I don't want to maintain this either, it's just that I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of Steam Deck modding. Feel free to close.
