It will be helpful to reference documentation specific to the minimum
required CMake version to avoid using features from newer versions.

We've updated the CMake documentation page to provide persistent
version-specific CMake, CTest, and CPack documentation pages:

   http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/documentation.html

For example, the page for CMake 2.8.7 documents the LINK_PRIVATE
option of target_link_libraries:

   http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.7/cmake.html#command:target_link_libraries

but the page for CMake 2.8.6 does not:

   http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.6/cmake.html#command:target_link_libraries
