We took this patch from Gentoo to break apart the portmidi build, so that we
can disable the Java parts and cleanly disable the tests which fail to link
(possibly because they are linked before “-lportmidi” is available).  The
patch was downloaded from here:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/plain/media-libs/portmidi/files/portmidi-217-cmake.patch?id=56bd759df1d0c750a065b8c845e93d5dfa6b549d
