This is true, but 2.4.3 has a serious problem on windows, so you actually 
already today have to use cmake 2.4.4 oder cvs HEAD if you're on windows.

To make sure this doesn't happen, we _need_ some people to set up their boxes 
to do Nightly builds, at least on Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and Windows (the only 
one we already have).

... updating cmake on linux or freebsd isn't hard neither.
It's just that it would force *many* more people to do this.

IMO it's ok to require 2.4.4 for windows, since 
-with 2.4.3 there are some linking problems which lead to crashes
-there is only a very limited number of windows developers
