----------------------

-* The implementation of CMake relies on some C++ compiler features which are
- not supported by some older compilers. As a result, those old compilers
- can no longer be used to build CMake itself. CMake continues to be able to
- generate Makefiles and project files for users of those old compilers
- however. The compilers known to no longer be capable of building CMake
- are:
-
- * MSVC 6 and 7.0 - superceded by VisualStudio 7.1 and newer compilers.
- * GCC 2.95 - superceded by GCC 3 and newer compilers.
- * Borland compilers - superceded by other Windows compilers.
- * Compaq compilers - superceded by other compilers.
- * Comeau compilers - superceded by other compilers.
- * SGI compilers - IRIX was dropped as a host platform.

- When building using SolarisStudio 12, the default ``libCStd`` standard
- library is not sufficient to build CMake. The SolarisStudio distribution
- supports compiler options to use ``STLPort4`` or ``libstdc++``. An
- appropriate option to select the standard library is now added
- automatically when building CMake with SolarisStudio compilers.
