Hi Tom,

Thanks for that information.

Is there some document I can read that explains which platform
versions (e.g., OpenBSD 5.3) are considered strongly supported?

I ask because I'm curious if/how someone in Yury's situation could
predict which minimum version of CMake must be supported in order for
his patch to be accepted.  (And if he accepts my offer to pitch in,
I'll actually need that particular detail.)

Kind regards,
Christian
