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.
