Summary:                    CMake Error: INSTALL(EXPORT  ...) includes target
which requires target that is not in the export set
Description: 
The error occurs even if TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES specifies a library target that
is declared to be STATIC. This is just plain dumb, because the exported object
does not depend on the library at run-time. This is clearly a BUG in cmake 2.8.
Agreed it should be an error if target is a MODULE and not STATIC.

e.g. in the following the dependency on GenRoute is resolved at build time:
GenNav will not depend on GenRoute at run-time.

ADD_LIBRARY(GenRoute STATIC ${GenRoute_SRCS})

ADD_LIBRARY(GenNav MODULE ${GenNav_SRCS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(GenNav GenRoute)

INSTALL(TARGETS     GenNav
        EXPORT      mapapi_core
        DESTINATION plugins)

$cmake
...
CMake Error: INSTALL(EXPORT "mapapi_core" ...) includes target "GenNav" which
requires target "GenRoute" that is not in the export set.


Steps to Reproduce: 
see above.
