Summary:                    MSVC, Linker option "/MANIFEST:NO" can not work
Description: 
Hi, CMake Term!!
CMake is a great Build System, Many thanks for your work!!
And now I meet a question, and can't solved it by myself.
I am reading the CMake source, and find the local variable 'hasManifest' always
been true.
---
int cmake::VisualStudioLink(std::vector<std::string>& args, int type)
{
  ...

  if(hasIncremental && hasManifest)
    {
    if(verbose)
      {
      std::cout << "Visual Studio Incremental Link with embeded manifests\n";
      }
    return cmake::VisualStudioLinkIncremental(expandedArgs, type, verbose);
    }
----

Here is my CMakeLists.txt
---
project(SdkWindow)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

add_definitions(-D_UNICODE -DUNICODE)
set(CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS "${CMAKE_LINK_FLAGS} /MANIFEST:NO /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF")

aux_source_directory(. SRC_LIST)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${SRC_LIST})
---

Here is the output log:
