Summary

0013247: VC generator add all shared library deps for dependent targets

Description

I use lots of static libraries targets that are combined into resulting shared library (in example mylib.dll). After that I add executable that depends on resulting library only (ex. myprog.exe).

VC Generator add all the mylib.dll dependencies to myprog.exe link flags. It is strange behavior cause if some function is already in mylib.dll I don't need any dependencies and if it's not - I better define some library in target_link_libraries manually. In fact it could be a problem - not all functions are included in mylib.dll. And CMake try to hide the problem from me.
