I suppose this is more of an option now that PCAS has now been unbundled from Base.

CA gateway build complained about missing <casCtx.h> which I could not find in the package. I build base 3.15.6 and base 3.14.12.3 with INSTALL_LOCATION and the file was missing, built them both without it and the file was there (obviously). So the question is, is it possible to add the portable CA server (PCAS) library source files to INSTALL_LOCATION?
