Summary:                    alias libraries and and --graphviz
Description: 
when alias libraries are used, the dot files treat original and aliased library
as different targets. therefore the dependencies are not visualised.

this issue is somehow related to http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13809,
which is about add_dependency.

Steps to Reproduce: 
add_library(foo)
add_library(bar ALIAS foo)
add_executable(baz)
target_link_libraries(baz bar)

expected behaviour: baz should visualise a dependency to foo. instead foo it
shows a dependency to bar.
