I just don't understand why are you requiring everything to be built from
scratch vs. having CMake pick up dependencies from locations specified
by the user. That'd be a much cleaner way in my view.

And when I say a much cleaner way -- I mean that we're unlikely to get
downstream consumers such as Linux Distributions and Apache Bigtop
interested in bundling HAWQ unless we can solve this build complexity.

Thanks,
Roman.
