Re: [ft-devel] CMake patches from Microsoft's vcpkg project

So.. regarding a minimum version. I'm building FreeType for bundling 
with freetype-py and I'm using 
https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild to build it on Linux and 
macOS. For Linux, a CentOS 5.11 image is used to build stuff 
(https://github.com/pypa/manylinux), which comes with CMake 2.8.11.2.

Damn! Well, in the name of testing if the minimum version actually 
works, I suggest bumping the requirement to 2.8.11.2 because that will 
actually get testing via freetype-py. Not a great win for me though.

Now, if the features Azamat suggests need something newer, I'd take that 
as the minimum requirement and just use `pip install cmake ninja` to get 
something shiny. Still have to look at his suggestions...
