[CMake] CMake 2.6.0 RC 6 ready for testing

[David Thulson]

Hello,
  I installed RC6 from the OSX dmg.  While the .app file itself seems
fine, it still did not overwrite the links to a previous version in
/usr/bin/ even though I explicitly confirmed that the installer should
put links in /usr/bin/.  I have mentioned this a few times already in
response to previous tests but have not heard anything confirming that
this is unexpected behavior.  Can this be fixed before the release?
