Sorry, that was a mistake on my side; I assumed the RC patch was already  
pushed. No, I just let MABS update to the "tip", and source/CMakeLists.txt  
still contains the "REPLACE".

Now I am not sure if this new error message appears only because I let the  
script run right again. Still ... the message as such is confusing.

I will try again with a cleared x265 directory branch when you commited a  
solution.
