[Cmake] Trouble with missing linker flags

[Mathews, Rob]

Reading the code, it looks very much like I could use the variable
"LINK_FLAGS" in order to set the flags globally. However, it also looks like
there is a missing test in and around lines 398 of
VisualStudio7Generator.cxx. Those lines read something like below. They seem
to have a test for every target type EXCEPT cmTarget::WIN32_EXECUTABLE. 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
  std::string extraLinkOptions;
  if(target.GetType() == cmTarget::EXECUTABLE)
    {
    extraLinkOptions = m_Makefile->GetDefinition("CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS");
    }
  if(target.GetType() == cmTarget::SHARED_LIBRARY)
    {
    extraLinkOptions =
m_Makefile->GetDefinition("CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS");
    }
  if(target.GetType() == cmTarget::MODULE_LIBRARY)
    {
    extraLinkOptions =
m_Makefile->GetDefinition("CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS");
    }
