I wouldn't do anything special to attempt to accomodate those stuck with
cmake-2.2.  Instead, I think your best short-term bet is simply to ask your
friends to compile cmake-2.4.6.  I have done that on ubuntu Dapper (6.06),
and it is really easy to do. Furthermore, that desktop is already getting
seriously out of date (thanks to the large pace of change of Linux desktop
programming) so I plan to move on to a more recent Linux distro this summer,
and I am sure many of your friends will be doing that as well on a similar
time scale for the same reasons.
