It'd be nice it the errors were less cryptic, I got hit by that when packaging contour #47845, and instead of knowing I had to download the resource manually, I had many hours of fruitless and frustrating debugging. I only learned of this issue when someone asked me if I already had a PR that packages GSL which the previous message asks for (ironically, the PR in which I hit this awful "bug").

There's barely any info online about that cryptic error message that cmake barfs up, and all that info says is that cmake is compiled "without ssl support". The build-style obscures the existence and usage of `cmake-bootstrap`, so what one checks is the run-depends of `cmake`, in which both curl and libssl obviously are present. The whole thing has 100% the appearance of a bug.

This mad goose chase could easily be avoided by a patched error message, especially in a `-bootstrap` package that should only be used in xbps-src.
