There is another twist in the tail here. The existing topic on next is not 
taking account of the case where the link implementation is the link 
interface when exporting.

I have pushed new commits to my gitorious clone in the wip-target-interface 
branch. I also pushed the add-INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES-property branch to my 
clone, which I recommend merging to next. If you give me a green light on 
that (and squash some of the commits together), I'll push the next batch of 
commits on top.

I didn't add the CMP0019 test to my branch. It cherry-picks cleanly though, 
so whenever you think you'll be able to resolve the test failures on the 
dashboard with it, feel free to merge it to next.

By the way, I noticed that fix-ExpandVariables-performance was not merged in 
the recent merge session. Is there a problem with it?

Thanks,

Steve.
