    Tell people that link_directories() is not what they are searching for
    
    Judging from the questions I see on the #cmake IRC channel this is one
    of the most common pitfalls for people coming from other build systems,
    especially plain Makefiles.  Finally put this into the documentation to
    stop people getting fooled into using this.
