The reason why there is 2.8.8 as the minimum required version is simple:
it is the CMake version I have at hand on my Wheezy box in my office. On
my private boxes with Jessie I could go for 3.0.2 ;).

I guess you are suggesting 2.8.12 because it is the version shipped with
Ubuntu 14.04 ;). Now, being to lazy to compare the docs between 2.8.8
and 2.8.12, can anyone tell me what would be the additional
functionality that 2.8.12 provides over 2.8.8?

regards
  Eugen
