Looks good, thanks.

However now that I look at the end result I realize that the functionality
is not specific to CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES at all.  It is a general
conversion from imported targets to raw file paths.  Perhaps the name
and interface could be made more general:

   include(CMakeExpandImportedTargets)
   cmake_expand_imported_targets(result LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES})
