Are you really certain it is always an error for a target to not set this?

I'm still planning on getting the 'double colons for IMPORTED targets' 
feature in, but after 2.8.12. This is orthogonal, but the motivation is 
similar.

My preference is to get a 2.8.12 out soon and open up for features after 
that. I have a few waiting for that already.

Thanks,

Steve.
