The difficulties that people had with 2.4.4 are very serious, so the 
answer is "yes."  Download your new binary and be happy.  Not interested 
in having 2.4.4 reflect badly on Chicken for unknown reasons.  It's 
never about "works on my box."

I don't plan to chase every latest greatest CMake release, if there is 
no need.  But in this case, there is clearly a need.  Kitware would 
probably like CMake 2.4.4 to, ah, disappear.
