Title: Allow linking against system libuv

In order to be able to package libuv and Node.JS cleanly in Linux distributions, it would be useful to be able to link to a shared system copy of libuv. This patch provides that capability.

Proper functionality of this patch relies on https://github.com/joyent/libuv/pull/626 to enable the appropriate exported symbols in libuv.
