[HarfBuzz] Standalone Unicode support library

[Tom Hacohen]

Hey Grigori,

Thanks a lot for this wonderful lib. I haven't checked the code nor have 
I tried compiling/using it, but just the concept is very much needed. 
Could you please consider adding CMake (or any other build system) 
support so it'll be easier to just build a lib out of it?

Thanks a lot,
Tom.
