[Insight-developers] Cygwin cmake 2.6 issue

[Bill Lorensen]

Brad,

Also, I think the same thing may have happened to the mingw build.
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewBuildError.php?buildid=346391

This started to fail after an upgrade to ctest2.4-patch 8.

Did some change break this compatibility? Or is this a bugu that
needed to be corrected?

Bill
