 Replying to [comment:5 robe]:
 > It's about time I upgraded anyway so not a big deal.  Just wondering if
 it would be an issue on other platforms.  I have cmake 2.8.11 and first
 message I get out of the gate is

 Yes, you right, the minimal CMake version set to 2.8.12 as this version is
 default on most Linux distros. As CMake now 3.x it seems to me 2.8.12 is
 OK. But 2.8.11 or less may be tested.

 About libGEOS - I noted that on Windows not tested - this mean mingw and
 cygwin too.
 Also there are some CMake keys to get lost dependencies - i.e.
 -DWITH_GEOS_EXTERNAL=ON (the -DWITH_GEOS=ON mast be set too). In such case
 the latest libGEOS will be downloaded and build.

 Anyhow patch for GEOS detection under mingw is welcome.
