It seems to me that if you're going to specify a deployment target explicitly 
that you should specify an SDK explicitly too.

That aside, if you don't, CMake should probably default to the newest SDK 
(which is what Xcode does).  I don't see a reason to default to an SDK 
"matching" the deployment target, in fact it's problematic these days since 
they no longer provider older SDKs.

Of course, finding the "newest" SDK will be a bit fragile, since they get 
moved/renamed all the time, but I guess that's something CMake always has to 
deal with anyway.

Cheers,
