Strange then... I have patches from the current Fedora blender
maintainer that seems to do this but for scons, not cmake...

Here's a snippit of the patch for one file:
diff -up blender/source/blender/editors/include/BIF_gl.h.ext
blender/source/blender/editors/include/BIF_gl.h

 #ifndef BIF_GL_H

-#include "../../../../extern/glew/include/GL/glew.h"
+#include <GL/glew.h>

        /*
         * these should be phased out. cpack should be replaced in

And then a bunch of entries taking glew out of the includes in SConscript files.

The resulting package works or I think there would be more complaints...
