While you are getting cmake to do what you need,
version 0.103.4 LTS was released in tandem with 0.104.1
Confusingly it appears on the download page under "Previous Stable 
Releases". However it should contain all the fixes of 0.104.1
but with the old build system.

Might I say that "Previous Stable Releases" is not the right
place for the *current* LTS version ?
