That means TARGETS is already born with a shelf-live. It will be obsoleted 
by LINK_LIBRARIES, right? 

Should we create LINK_LIBRARIES now instead, use it in the macros by 
directly passing CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES to it, and implement the ignoring 
of -DLINK_LIBRARIES in that case? 
 
Thanks,

Steve.
