+-----------

+This is just a simple compatibility script that ensures that Qhull
+provided by apt on Ubuntu 20.04 works fine with blf. It is not meant
+to work fine in general (it only defines the imported targets required by blf).
+Please remove as soon as Ubuntu 20.04 apt compatibiliy is dropped.
