This can be done with options in the CMake scripts that are off by
default. You define them with set(build_with_system_libs "no" CACHE),
(the CACHE option is so that it can be configured with
ccmake/cmake-gui) later check with if(${build_with_system_libs}
strequal "yes"), and when you call CMake you just enable that with
cmake -Dbuild_with_system_libs=yes. You can also use the option()
CMake command if all you need is booleans.

After thinking it over, I think I will attempt a Debian packaging
after all, and this is how I intend to do it... of course, if the data
were free... would that ever happen?
