It works on Debian/Squeeze, and the (now official) Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
- in case you thought GNU/Linux was hard to say ;)

OSX was already working, I only mentioned it to say that it didn't
have a negative impact on later cmake versions. AFAIK, Lenny was the
only system this failed on, so we don't have to worry about it.

Those commands are what I'd normally run to update a macports system,
but it breaks frequently (maybe by trying to stay current?), so I tend
to either not update or just reinstall it.

The only simplification I can see is that autoconf could be removed
since it's required by automake, but it's an explicit dependency
itself - so it should be kept.

Small change, 2.8.0 works with Ubuntu 10.04:
