["Duncan Mac-Vicar P." <dmacvicar@xxxxxxx>]

We require cmake 2.6 since 11.0 release.

Alexander Neundorf details in his blog some of the new things 
(http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/531)

-the env. variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, which is used by the FIND_XXX() 
commands to find installed software (i.e. if you installed kdelibs under 
the prefix /opt/kdelibs and kdesupport under /opt/kdesupport, set 
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to /opt/kdesupport:/opt/kdelibs and it will be found)

-support for cross compiling, let's see if that helps with getting KDE 
on small devices

-defining the "link interface" of libraries, so we can limit the 
indirect dependencies of libs

-much shorter delay between entering "make" and when the first target is 
built (now a O(N) algorithm instead O(N^2) )

-libraries are linked to with the full path instead of relying on the 
correct order of the -L and -l flags

-a Qt GUI for configuring projects, editing the cache etc. ("cmake-gui")

-much faster installation, no relinking needed anymore, the RPATH is now 
patched directly in the binaries

-support for OSX library frameworks, let's see if we want to use that 
for our libs like kdecore

-improved packaging support, including RPM and DEB packages (still quite 
early, so needs tester)

-support for creating Eclipse and Code::Blocks projects

-improved documentation, now also for cmake variables and properties, 
split into separate man pages, and now also supports creating 
documentation for custom cmake modules (see 
http://api.kde.org/cmake/modules.html)
