Description

I just noticed this message:

```
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:2 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.

Update the VERSION argument value or use a ... suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.
```

We should probably consider upping to v3.0 along with tracking CMake's deprecation of 2.8 compatibility.

Research direction

Start at line 2 of CMakeLists.txt and inspect the current minimum-version declaration. Run CMake configuration before and after updating the minimum to v3.0, and confirm the deprecation warning about compatibility with versions below 2.8.12 is resolved.
