+CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
+-----------------------------
+
+Version of cmake required to build project
+
+From the point of view of backwards compatibility, this specifies what
+version of CMake should be supported. By default this value is the
+version number of CMake that you are running. You can set this to an
+older version of CMake to support deprecated commands of CMake in
+projects that were written to use older versions of CMake. This can
+be set by the user or set at the beginning of a CMakeLists file.
