The FindGLM script has been tested on OSX with Homebrew as well and is
reported
to work.  Unless there are bugs introduced by the newer GLM versions I
think we
can safely apply the patch and everything should build OK once glm is
installed.
Although I set the glm version requirement to minimum 0.9.5.4 in reality we
know
that kicad works with 0.9.4.7 but the 3D code in the pipeline requires
0.9.5.4 and
later.
