Major Description
I'm not an expert at autotools, but right now the autotools pipeline for building the slave seems to be:
(1) build libmesos
(2) compile slave/main.cpp and link to libmesos
(3) voila, you have compiled the slave
Unfortunately, libmesos pulls in a lot of stuff that won't work on Windows for quite some time, so we need to devise a temporary alternative for the CMake solution.
Probably this means that we will need to start by compiling only the parts of libmesos we need for the slave, but it's not clear to what extent components like `common` and `slave` can be separated, though initial investigation indicates that they are pretty loosely coupled, so this should be easy in theory unless I'm missing something.
