Euh right, that's the issue I meant to reference

I'm not sure if it's not better to just wait for a fix for #190 to land upstream...

from liboqs-rust.

I get the point, this is a bit about failure culture: does liboqs-rust assume that its use of CMake does not contain any errors, and that if there is an error the downstream lib user should have no grip on the matter, or does liboqs-rust enable the user on changing the behavior at the risk of allowing the user to compromise while doing so. I totally get why the second thing first thing sounds better, making a bullet-proof product that can't be used wrong is nice!

However, there is a tradeoff re usability. This and adjacent decisions make it more (one might even say: unnecessarily) complicated to use liboqs, which ultimately could hurt the goals of the oqs project. Please note, I'm no suggesting either way, I'm just pointing out observations (as we already considered replacing liboqs for various friction experienced with the build system).

Just for completeness, I made this to address open-quantum-safe/liboqs#1442, not to fix #190.
