Since i got a few emails over this particular change... I will go ahead and
explain the primary reason for this change. It's a minor change when you
consider that most current linux distributions have included some version
of cmake 2.8 for more than 2 years. Also, The last release for cmake 2.6
was in 2009, and there was less than a year spent on the CMake 2.6 series.
This means that this is only a slight change to require slightly newer
tools seeing as how cmake 2.8 was released within 6 months of Cmake 2.6.8 (
see [1] for information ).

Anyways, for developers working on Windows, Freebsd, and/or Mac OS X, there
is a high chance these developers will install Cmake 2.8 seeing as how this
works on all recent computers.
