Yup... I finally got a build (including PPC64) for EL 6!

Here's what I had to do to get it to work (some of it obvious!):
- change the CMAKE_REQUIRED_VERSION to 2.6
- Remove "include(ExternalProject)" since it doesn't exist in 2.6.
Fortunately since I already unbundled the external libraries, cmake
didn't run into any of the invocations of that macro.
- Don't build the docs since it relies on ExternalProject.
- Not cmake related: EL6 defaults to CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH ON, which is bad
because I need to be able to run the binaries in the build tree to
generate man pages (using help2man).

Thanks,
Richard
