Hi,

Since upstream appears to be dead at least please bump this to latest 
commit as it fixes multiple issues including CMake 4.0 compatibility. 
You're also building unit tests which both pulls in unnecessary 
dependencies and not connected to the framework (make test). For the 
sake of maintainability of the tree please evaluate adding "dead" 
upstream projects to the tree or communicate with upstream (if it's a 
dependency) about the status of the project.

Best regards,
Daniel
