When emerging paraview-5.1.0 it fails, showing that CMake 3.5 or higher is required. The ebuild seems to depend on cmake only with inheriting cmake-utils.eclass, which depends on >=dev-util/cmake-2.8.12
It seems, CMake 3.5 is not really needed, we could apply the following "patch" and only need to depend on CMake 3.3: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/commit/26831364525fe03903ee3effaf1c9e11968d3001

Keeps maintenance simple. Adding reference to upstream requirement.
