I didn’t express myself clearly, sorry.

What I meant is that *Tensorflow* no longer comes with the necessary
CMake files (since the latest release).

It used to come with a contributed Makefile and CMake files.  The
Makefile only allowed you to build the core library (as seen in my
previous patch), while the CMake stuff was more comprehensive.

In spite of this I’d like us to add the previous release of Tensorflow
using the cmake-build-system.  Tensorflow uses Bazel, but it is very
difficult to package all of Bazel’s *many* Java dependencies, so this
will probably take a very long time to do without cheating.
