Yeah, patching it out should be easy for the moment.

Here’s the relevant change from the bro repo:

https://github.com/bro/bro/commit/d8890ea009fdb94ecffcf826bbfd23577396365e

And the one from bro-aux:

https://github.com/bro/bro-aux/commit/0b713c027d3efaaca50e5df995c02656175573cd

I think that one place in bro-aux is the only place that’s using CMake 2.8 features right now, but let me know if you find otherwise and need any help.
