It did. I had (minimal) logic in src/Makevars to make a static lib via cmake;
I now moved that up into a new script configure where I used your snippet to
find cmake "even if I find myself surrounded by macOS". And with that things
work. So thanks for the help.

We can discuss at length if providing something in a path you cannot know ex
ante know comprises "providing" something -- but I guess Simon was right that
his machine had cmake. Only that I didn't know where it was. Ah well.

But that is unplugged now, as is a mistake I had made in the CMakeLists.txt
adaptation for a static-only build. Which only gcc-13 found so all good for
another upload soon.

Thanks again!

Cheers, Dirk
