libwebp is currently at version 1.1.0 for a reason:  it requires cmake 3.5 and older versions of ubuntu as well as some other older O/S do not have that.  This is documented in the manual with the suggestion of users who want an upgrade will have to first upgrade cmake to 3.5.  BUT by now it may even require a later version of cmake (not sure).\

so far Slackware 15.0 bumped libwebp to 1.3.2

guess we ought to do the same?
