FetchContent is an absolute nightmare of a dependency management feature. The fact that it brings third-party CMake code into your build without any kind of isolation has been a long source of headaches. Over the years, I've had to nearly rewrite wabt's build system, contribute patches to CMake, hack around missing features, write extra detection modules, and complicate our packaging rules just to skip a simple installation step (e.g.
brew install wabt flatbuffers).This is the first step towards excising FetchContent from the codebase.
Opening this as a draft for now. I plan to add wheels for flatbuffers and wabt to pypi.halide-lang.org to make getting dependencies easy.
