A 1.3.x cmake would be able to work with a gcc for 1.3.x or a gcc for 1.5.x. I would suspect that there are folks out there that have a cygwin install that has gcc that is not 1.5.x based. For example, almost all the machines in my office are still running 1.3.x with gcc and friends. So, now if they want a new cmake, they will also have to upgrade the compiler, cygwin, and most likely all of the other packages they have installed just to get the new version of cmake. If I built the new version of cmake with 1.3.x, it would allow cmake to be used by both the 1.5.x people, and the people that only want to upgrade cmake and not all of cygwin.
However, if new packages should be built with 1.5.x, I will build the new package with 1.5.x. -Bill >New packages should be built under 1.5.x.
