The current changes split out _only_ json_type_object, and thus have a number of hacks
to allow the code to continue to build and work.
Originally mentioned in issue #535.
When complete, this will probably invalidate #552.
This is likely to cause notable conflicts in any other significant un-merged
changes, such as PR#620.
Contrary to other CMAKE variables the CMAKE_C_FLAGS variable is the
composed string of flags for the C compiler. It is therefore not a list
to append to. Current implementation results in these incorrect CFLAGS,
e.g., "-O2 -g -fblahblah;-UNDEBUG". Extending the CFLAGS this way
results in the proper CFLAGS, e.g., "-O2 -g -fblahblah -UNDEBUG".
