We have historically provided KML support in our GDAL-based import system using 
an old version of libkml which dates from the Google Code days. We had a cache 
of the .zip file so have not needed to download it afresh for a long time. I am 
belatedly testing using the v1.3.0 version available from 
https://github.com/libkml/libkml which was somebody's attempt to keep that 
library alive, but it is nearly as ancient (2015).

However, while naive replacement of our previous autogen-based libkml build 
(both shared and static) with the newer CMake-based one compiles just fine, 
GDAL (currently 3.10.3) is not at all happy with it as a static build, although 
a shared build seems OK.

Does anyone please have a known-working build incantation for libkml 1.3.0 plus 
current GDAL for an all-static build.

Alternatively, Even or whoever, is KML still a thing? How many people are 
likely to care if we deprecate support for it?
