The PyPI distribution of CMake shall not be listed as an unconditional build requirement. It shall only be added as a build requirement if not installed or too low a version. This helps building from sources on platforms where no wheels are available for CMake but the system already provides a recent enough CMake version. In case of error checking the version, the backend falls back to using the PyPI distribution of CMake.
