I have no strong opinion on a specific version, but I do agree that in 
general Boost shouldn't assume that people will (or can) install a 
version newer than whatever is already available in their distro.

So pick an expected minimum distro set (likely, what people are most 
likely to be running a year from now, or other timeframe that seems 
reasonable) and try to avoid requiring CMake higher than whatever is the 
minimum common version of that set.
