I had already filed bug report 1759:

http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1759

cmake_policy(SET CMP0022 OLD) seems like a temporary work-around ---
 cmake 2.8.12 is here to stay and we might as well adapt sooner

I just love how upstream changes keep breaking things for everybody

C'est la vie.
