Guarding the FRAMEWORK keyword sounds like the sensible thing to do,
it's a bit of pain, but it would allow those using cmake out of the
box on older OS spins to keep working.

So far it hasn't been a big problem, but it's something we should
monitor - just how hassle is it to support older CMake versions.  On a
pure engineering standpoint I'd rather we'd just have a single CMake
min version as well, but from a pragmatic standpoint it can shift the
a small amount of disruption in one place to more disruption
elsewhere.  Where to draw the line is the difficult thing, something I
try to do on a case by case basis when reviewing submissions, and by
monitoring the pain threshold out in the community.

Robert.
