Yes. tll() takes LINK_PUBLIC and the others take PUBLIC for example. 

Additionally tll() can take non-targets such as library-file names and 
strings such as "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 
-lk5crypto -lcom_err" as is used in kdelibs (from GSSAPI).

There is some clean-up to do, but it is possible to write a macro for it, as 
I wrote here:

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/5835/focus=5841

although the macro I wrote there doesn't handle things like

 tll(foo LINK_PUBLIC bar LINK_PRIVATE blub)

but again that's fixable, but I don't think a macro is the right approach.

Thanks,

Steve.
