CMake 2.8 was release in November of 2009. Maybe it's time to bump that up to 2.8.0? I think most distros (even Debian) are up to the 2.8 version of CMake. I guess the other thing I could do is merge the changes from the latest version into our local version if it can merged cleanly. > > > > For MS Windows in particular (cross building from Linux or not, both), and > other platforms too, I still say there is tremendous value in us providing > cmake "external project" support to build wxWidgets and anything else that > needs to be built.

I think this is a good idea. When (if?) I get some time, I will play around with it but it's off my radar for right now.
