Third-party dependencies
------------------------
+For some dependencies we maintain temporary "forks", which are simply private
+branches with a few extra patches, while we wait for the upstream project to
+merge the patches. This is done instead of maintaining the patches as (fragile)
+CMake `PATCH_COMMAND` steps.
+
These "bundled" dependencies can be updated by bumping their versions in `cmake.deps/deps.txt`.
Some can be auto-bumped by `scripts/bump_deps.lua`.
