CMake: reduce minimum version
Tested locally on windows/mac/linux.
It could probably be reduced further, but I did not test it.

Well, you want to set the minimum version to the oldest possible, because if not you are forcing the system compiling libcdi to update their CMake for no reason.
The way I do it generally is by downloading a bunch of CMake version and configuring the project with the oldest and oldest version of CMake until I find the one that do not work.
In that specific case I just reduced it to my needs (the ParaView superbuild is using CMake 3.27) but it probably only needs CMake 3.0
The CMake of libcdi is currently being developed. Internally I was asked to finish or at least push what I have at the end of this month. The current state is on the branch: m300433/cmake_improvements_and_define_cleanups Uwe told me that you were interested in libcdi in context of CMake and I am looking forward to your input, especially since I have not yet started on the installation of libcdi via CMake. But please give me a week or two before starting to change things or instruct me how to do it. A set of your requirements would be very welcome of course. In context of the version: I was not aware that CMake 3.30 is only ~7 months old.

I did that already, Ill be happy to share my code next week.

Definitely!

I want to be able to ship the CDIReader plugin in ParaView Windows, which require full cmake support for the lib.
