I think we'll want 3.5 in the (hopefully) near future, so if
distributions don't have a new enough CMake, they can patch it down to
3.3 in the meantime. A comment might be worthwhile.

Though I question the distro update policies surrounding where ParaView
is aggressively pushed forward when CMake isn't. CMake is *much* better
with its backwards compatibility, but I guess it's down to maintainer
style to some extent.

I was actually going to upgrade them to 3.6's rc today to test it out.
