Hi, the convention when renewing patches is to keep the order of the
old.  Even if you don't resend all of them (which many for the record
do), it makes sense to still calls this v2 2/2 unless 1/2 is already
pushed.

You could also rewrite the top-level CMake file so that this is not an
issue.  Alternatively, use the (let ((keep …)) …) pattern, so that the
code is self-explanatory.

Can we package that or is there some bootstrapping issue?

Use search-input-file.

Use search-input-directory.

In general, I'd encourage writing a patch to fix both this and the
issues pointed out above.  Note, that CMake has its way of locating
packages per cmake files or pkgconfig, so hard-coding directories as
done here is typically *not* needed.
