> The proposed patch utilizes cmake's object library feature introduced in 2.8.8. This patch provides the option for users to compile WebCore source files into object files but does not link archive or link them into a library file. Instead the object files may be included in other targets created by add_library or add_executable by listing the object library as a source with special syntax $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib>, where "objlib" is the object library name (which in this case is webkit).

The problem of bumping CMake's version is that most of the EFL developers are using Ubuntu 12.04 on theirs development machine (and on our bots) and it ships CMake 2.8.7. The reason being because it is the latest LTS (Long Term Support) release. That said, I cannot support this change.
