Summary:                    Ninja: LINK_LIBRARIES not spilled to response file
Description: 
* Command line length is limited on Windows.
* To alleviate this, CMake places object files into a response file, but the
  same is not done for libraries.
* This can pose a problem when the link line becomes too long.


Steps to Reproduce: 
See attached testcase generator.

Additional Information: 
I am primarily interested in a solution for the Ninja generator, although this
issue affects other generators too (e.g. NMake, MinGW Makefiles).  For further
discussion see the mailing list:
