@vmillios: Thanks for the notice. I now adopted flaviut's improvements and bumped the CMake version once again.

trying this now gives an error

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
error: failed to build 'polyclipping-6.4.2-4': 
error: packages failed to build: polyclipping-6.4.2-4

@flaviut: Thanks for those improvements! Would it be fine with you if I commit them under your name and mail address? Also, co-maintainers are always welcome :)

Needed to make a few tweaks

1. get it to build on modern versions of cmake ("Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of CMake." error)
2. get it to build when cmake uses ninja by default instead of make (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CMake_package_guidelines#Template)
3. fix the incorrect SPDX license ID & other namcap warnings
