Yes, the update is not critical, but it would be nice.
cmake 2.4.3 users get different (better) handling of dependencies for 
generated files and different RPATH handling. And some things can be cleaned 
up and some minor performance improvements can be implemented.
So right now if somebody comes up with problems at first I have to figure out 
which cmake versions he has and then try to remember if the specific problems 
he has is already fixed in 2.4.3.

I don't want to wait with this until after akademy. 
In Trysil the most problems people had had to do with generated files, so I 
*really* don't want to spend the week in Dublin by fixing dependency problems 
which would be working without problem with 2.4.3.

So how about September 12th ?
Makes a four week warning period, and a more than 4 month period since the 
last cmake update.
(Changes in qt-copy or kdelibs are often done with no major announcement and 
cause much more recompilation for everybody).

Bye
Alex
