[CMake] CMake 2.8.8 Upgrade problem with Xcode on OS X 10.8

[David Cole]

This should be fixed already in 'next' and 'master'.

This bug report:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13463

And this git commit:
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=e88bae77

use xcode-select to determine the Xcode to use...

That fix is in 'master' already and will be in CMake 2.8.10.

If you're using bleeding edge Xcode, please also use bleeding edge CMake. :-)


HTH,
David
