Initial feedback, per another post of mine. I am looking to separate
out the stuff in extern and package that on its own. I already had
btyacc and libtommath. I packaged libtomcrypt. I think the system
btyacc no longer works as its from upstream and the one in Firebird has
seen some changes since.

Thus I have a need for the extern stuff to be optionally installed on
system vs built. Presently playing with your modifications plus some
sed I had before for libtommath. But ideally extern stuff could be
configured to be used on the system vs built and used from within
Firebird sources.

I do not expect you to make such change. Just a wish of mine. Worse
case I can expand on your changes to meet my needs while preserving the
building and using extern stuff within Firebird sources, being the
default.

Or maybe detect if on system, if found use system, if not build and
use from within. That maybe ideal all around. Either way thank you very
much for your work. I had been busy with other stuff so hadn't the time
to dial in cmake more for Firebird. Glad I am not the only one
interested in such :)
