If a command makes into an official release of cmake, we plan to keep it
around for backwards compatibility for as long as possible.   That is why we
introduced the CMAKE_REQUIRED_VERSION command.   It allows us to know what
version of CMake the cmakelist file was meant to work with.

SOURCE_FILES_FLAGS was never in an official release, so it was replaced with
the more generic SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERITES before the release.
