+# find_package() against externally-provided packages. llhttp's upstream
+# CMakeLists.txt only exports an "llhttp::llhttp_shared" imported target
+# (llhttp::llhttp is merely a build-tree ALIAS, never installed/exported),
+# which restinio's dev/restinio/CMakeLists.txt does not recognize as a
+# valid find_package() target name, so llhttp is consumed in "system"
