Nope ... I have been using the CVS version of CMake for ages with no
problems.

Hi All,

There are several features of CMake 2.0 that would improve aspects of
VTK build process. The improvements in CMake would:

* increase readability of the CMake lists files
* reduce CMake version checking
* simplify try-compiles
* allow shared library versioning
* allow netCDF to be build always (right now it requires CMake 2.0)
* improved install
...

CMake 2.0 was released more than a year ago, so it is stable.
So, does anybody see any problem with making VTK require CMake 2.0?

Thank you.
