--- Comment #12 from Steve Wills <swills at FreeBSD.org> ---
Raphael is exactly right of course. I think what I have posted is OK, but
further work will be needed.

Specifically, we need to deal with the fact that jsoncpp is deprecating
building with scons. Instead they want to build with cmake, but if we don't use
the bundled cmake this can create a problem.

It seems we have two options. One option is to go back to using the jsoncpp
bundled with cmake, which isn't the newest.

The other option, and what I think I prefer, is to create a cmake-bootstrap
port which uses the bundled jsoncpp and is then used to build the jsoncpp port.
Then cmake can be built without the bundled jsoncpp. I haven't worked on this
yet, but plan to.
