The new release I just posted is not really a new release of CMake, but it is a new release for cygwin. The current cmake that comes with cygwin is 2.6.4 (very old). The one I just uploaded was 2.8.2 (still old but much newer.) It has no changes at all. We are currently working on 2.8.3, it has some of the patches you want, but not all. However, please work with me on the cmake dev list to come up with a solution that won't break all of the projects I support (VTK, ITK, and several others). I am sure if we work together we can come up with a solution that makes everyone happy. But, I would really rather have that discussion on the CMake developers mailing list. (http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers) I do not want to create a cygwin release that does not match the upstream CMake.
