-Subject: [PATCH] Build: Fix CMake pkg config file if WITH_SYSTEM_*
-
-If WITH_SYSTEM_ZLIB or WITH_SYSTEM_SPNG is defined, then the generated
-CMake package config file will include (respectively)
-
-    INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "ZLIB::ZLIB"
-
-or
-
-    INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "PkgConfig::spng"
-
-in the libjpeg-turbo::turbojpeg and libjpeg-turbo::turbojpeg-static
-target properties.  Thus, our CMake package config file needs to find
-those dependencies.
-
-Fixes #901
-
-Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo/commit/95156233739078e7d4de0aeeacc4b0595630f393]
