There are *lots*  and lots of incompatibilities using different cygwin 
utilities with different release dates... I think that the *only* cygwin 
release "meant to be somewhat supported by the mailing list" is the 
latest... supporting the "n!" possibilities would be crazy...

To say "older (may be) better" wuold have sense if cygwin had "unstable 
/ stable" branch like Debian, but being a single branch either you 
upgrade *nothing at all* or you do upgrade everything.

Of course it's possible to want a new cmake *only* upgrading nothing 
else: that's what the source package is for, isn't it? ^_^

This all, IMveryHO ^_^
