Summary:                    Ninja: no transitive dependency for imported
libraries
Description: 
ExternalProject_Add(x ....)
add_library(xLib STATIC IMPORTED GLOBAL)
set_target_properties(xLib PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION libx.a)
add_dependencies(xLib x)

target_link_library(y x)

This is broken for ninja. Ninja starts building y and stops because three is no
rule for libx.a.
