Add ccmake to python wheel

[SteffenSeckler]

Feature request

I would like to see the curses gui (ccmake) integrated into the python wheel.
I am guessing that only the necessary requirements are missing for that.

Good idea. If you can submit a PR, it will be reviewed and integrated next week when back in the office.

There is now a PR adding support for distributing and executing ccmake if available.

I am guessing that only the necessary requirements are missing for that.

Indeed, remaining work would be to enable the BUILD_CursesDialog option.

Since I am not sure all prerequisites are available in the manylinux dockcross images used to create the linux wheel, some more work may be needed to have the curse devel libraries available in the build environment.
