please make it easier to hack on frameworks

hi ...

today i am unable to work on plasma-frameworks. this is because i am currently unable to 
compile the frameworks branch of kdelibs. in turn, this is because i do not have a recent enough 
version of cmake.

the cmake version required is 2.8.10.20130411. this isn't even a release version of cmake, but a 
dated snapshot! i am left with the option of moving to cmake from git (something i really would 
like to avoid) or not working on plasma-frameworks (which is not really an option for me).

i am sure there was a good reason to move to this new version of cmake. i am also sure that 
requiring devel versions of build tools to work on frameworks limits the people who can and will 
work on it.

would it be possible for someone who feels reponsible for frameworks 5 to institute some more 
developer-friendly requirements here?

thank you.
