[cmake-developers] Allow ALIAS of IMPORTED targets

[Michael Scott]

Hi,

I'm planning on having a look at the CMake issue "Allow ALIAS of 
IMPORTED targets", 0015569. After reading the thread between yourself 
and Marc, I wanted to ask a couple of things before I start going 
further with it.

The proposed change would be for the add_library and add_executable 
commands only right?

Having a quick look at the code for those two commands, they 
specifically check for a combination of ALIAS and IMPORTED and don't 
allow it. I'm guessing that the required changes to allow both 
simultaneously wouldn't be to just remove this check, there would be 
other areas to modify as well right?

Cheers,
Michael
