With the newer versions (from 1.4 onwards), CMake keeps track of
dependency, a by-product of which is that is knows where it outputs
the libraries. That is, you don't (at least, shouldn't) need the
LINK_DIRECTORIES commands for libraries that CMake knows about (which
are generally the ones it built).
