I don't see why that can't wait a little while longer.

What is Windows-specific about how we create Config files currently?

The distros people are using to develop KDE 4.10 ship with CMake 2.8.7 (eg 
latest Ubuntu). I think that's a more significant fact. 

The next version of Ubuntu will ship at the end of October and will have 
CMake 2.8.9 I guess. I don't think everyone upgrades immediately though, 
and 
I don't know the release schedules of other distros.

I don't think it's a good idea to depend on CMake 2.8.8 for KDE 4.10.

If you commit it though, I won't revert. I'm just claiming it's not a great 
idea, and I don't see the particular urgent need.

Thanks,

Steve.
