I'll try that as time permits. I will only note that 1.5.0 worked with 
my existing cmake file up through the beginning days of August. It 
looks like code was added the Scribus files to solve a Win and/or BSD 
problem that rendered the cmake step inoperable using older cmake 
programs.  Fixing that patch would seem to me less labor overall than
making everyone update their cmake to render that single patch 
operational.

When I wrote programs eons ago I tried to make them as generic as 
possible. That included accommodating those who had older or otherwise 
limited compilers.
