C'mon, sure you do :) It is a tight, well optimized update to the TDE codebase that provides all current HAL functionality with improved hardware detection and handling that works on all distros and releases -- without needing HAL. Problem solved!
While it's not nearly as good as what you describe above, this is exactly what TDE now has in reaction to the HAL problem. Try compiling tdebase with the -DWITH_TDEHWLIB option and the -DWITH_HAL option both enabled and see if that fixes the build problem. If so, then CMake needs to be updated to handle this in a sane manner instead of having to enable two contradictory options to successfully build without HAL support. ;-)
