Summary:                    VC generator add all shared library deps for
dependent targets
Description: 
I use lots of static libraries targets that are combined into resulting shared
library (in example mylib.dll). After that I add executable that depends on
resulting library only (ex. myprog.exe).

VC Generator add all the mylib.dll dependencies to myprog.exe link flags. It is
strange behavior cause if some function is already in mylib.dll I don't need any
dependencies and if it's not - I better define some library in
target_link_libraries manually. In fact it could be a problem - not all
functions are included in mylib.dll. And CMake try to hide the problem from me.
