--- Comment #13 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
The bundled dependencies (see third-party directory in distfile) are somewhat
problematic. 

We are expected to unbundle all dependencies and use system (ports/package)
versions of them. In the short term, we may be able to get away with leaving
bundled, any software that has no port/package for it yet, with a long term
view to porting them.

It would be good to go through the list (I can see at least mbedtls and pybind
are in ports) and determine the best method to 'unbundle' them. Nothing stood
out with a very quick cursory review of upstream Installation docs, so we may
need to use cmake vars or modify the cmake invocations.

*Hopefully* there's a simple way given this python package uses cmake, which
itself is unorthodox to say the least.

I'm running the build now and will run through QA again with additional
feedback/changes to come.

If someone can clarify this 'how do we unbundle these third-party dependencies'
question, it would go a long way to progressing and landing this.
