Compile with cmake and install with distutils
Context: To upgrade c-blosc distutils AVX2 detection is needed (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/bcolz/detection/bcolz/k0CXUZANClA/K6bbzivtrw4J).
Maybe devolve compiling to cmake and installation to distutils could avoid implementing AVX2 detection inside distutils.

If in the end this turns to be useful, I believe this would require cmake as a dependency.
cmake is available in anaconda, but for pip install users I guess would take extra efforts
