How would this work when a target needs to link to some package that 
does not provide exported interfaces? (Thinking of most existing 
module-based find_package stuff, here...) Does it take library paths? 
Include paths? What about broken find modules that require linking to 
their libraries with link_directories() + tll(<library name without path>)?
