[CMake] Version compatibility?

[Craig Scott]

I personally have found myself having to look up to his sort of version
info a lot lately. It sounds like others do too. Perhaps a more sustainable
approach would be to include the version details in the CMAKE docs
themselves. For each command, module, variable, etc. it's documentation
could state the version it was added. Some may warrant further info for
version(s) where significant changes were made (eg keywords added to a
command). Realistically, it would have to be done progressively and
obviously with agreement from the Kitware side. It would only work if it
became part of the change process whereby any new features or changes must
include such version details. It would be interesting to hear what Kitware
think of the idea. Any chance?
