Obviously, CMake 2.4.x users are stuck with these file dependency issues and
their workarounds, but for obvious reasons and especially for the parallel

has been mentioned previously on list will remove these limitations.

Well, it turns out I had to add four different target dependencies to the
CMake-based PLplot build system to get rid of the parallel build problems I
was having on my Core Duo box.  One of them was pretty subtle so I missed it
for my first review of the dependencies. Nevertheless, these changes were
not as extensive as I thought they would be so there is some hope that I
didn't miss anything that will show up as strange parallel build problems for PLplot on other machines.

I am still interested in the answer to the question below.

Is that complete rework actually going to happen for 2.6.x or is it currently
just a gleam in the CMake developer's eyes?
