libacl is used by cmake's internal libarchive implementation. The
cmake-native recipe makes use of that but the non-native cmake recipe
depends on the real libarchive so cmake doesn't use libacl itself.

If DISTRO_FEATURES makes sense for native packages then I can try and work
out how to use PACKAGECONFIG for this.

It looks like the cmake-native not setting the CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES
option stops cmake searching around for libarchive, curl, etc. and causing
problems with those libraries too.

I'm afraid that I know very little about cmake - I was just trying to fix
some build problems we were seeing with it. Someone with more cmake
knowledge may well know of a better way to solve this.

Thanks.

Mike.
