Summary:                    Transitive dependencies and target properties
Description: 
CMake have transitive dependecies of libraries linked to target. For example if
A is static library wich depends from SomeLib. And target B is executable wich
depends from A(will link both with A and SomeLib due to transitive dependency).
But the issue is that if we have some specific link_libraries() settings for A
the target B won't link.
I've tryed to fix this manually through usage of additional target property like
TgLinkDirectories this property is set in target A and the used in all dependent
targets.
But this solution will work only in some traverse orders (A->B which might be
not the same in huge and complicated projects).

Actually I need the same functionality for include_directories().
This will help me achive of the functionality like in bjam.
Thanks in advance
