Missing pkg-config file for cppzmq

[panicgh]

It would be nice for compatibility with pkg-config-based applications, if cppzmq generated a *.pc file like libzmq already does. For someone knowledgeable in CMake (not me) this is probably a trivial task.

Maybe this does the trick:

If cppzmq provided a pc-file, it would be possible to use the libzmq pc-file too and get the correct flags from there.
