HI Andy, Which Cmake version is required really depends upon which platform you have, under unices you can get away with 2.4.x just fine and there is check against this, with 2.4.6 set as the minimum for Windows and OSX due to essential fixes on these platforms. See the top of OpenSceneGraph/CMakeLists.txt for details on how this is checked for.
As for using later version beyond 2.4.6, this should be fine. I rather not enforce usage of later versions unless critical to a particular platform, or piece of functionality. I view the need to CMake as an extra burden for our users, something else for them to download and keep up to date, so I'd rather not force too many requirements upon them in terms of version numbers. One always has the option of controlling what parts of the CMake scripts are run on what versions of CMake, so if you have some funky feature available that isn't critical to all users you could just localise the dependency.
