No problem. Hope you had a good holiday - though as far as giving thanks
goes, I'm just thankful that 2020 is not going to last much longer, but I
can at least be thankful that I and my family have got this far without
mishap.

There is nobody but me. I do test CMake under Linux and of course I can
look stuff up in its documentation, but I can't test anything under
Windows. I rely on users such as yourself to advise on changes. I've just
done a bit of research, and realized that I might be able to test
RunTest.bat using Wine, which could be helpful. Anyway, I have applied your
patch to CMakeLists.txt and committed r1286. The release candidate has been
out long enough now. Tomorrow I intend to run all the tests that I can and
then put out the 10.36 release.

Oh good. Glad to hear it wasn't me missing something.
