[cmake-developers] Is it possible to clone an existing target?

Hello,

I have a target `MyTarget`. Is there a way I could do something like

clone_target(MyTarget MyNewTarget)

so that MyNewTarget appears to be the exact clone (deep copy) of original
target
with the only difference of a target name?

P.S. I understand that complex projects may be the edge-cases for a
general-purpose
cloning routine. I would be fine with a method that does the job in most of
the cases.

Thanks,

Stan
