If you actually get clingo to build, that'd be one thing, but there
shouldn't be any issue getting our catch2 to work in CMake-based
projects to begin with.  After all, we do provide a catch2-config that
simply invokes pkg-config.  I'd hazard a guess that whatever project
you're trying to build pokes at internals it's not really supposed to
see.

As for the upgrade to 3.3.2, I'd take that in solitude if clingo still
builds with it.  If not, you'd have to make it an extra version.

Cheers
