[CMake] Shared Library Dependencies with Visual Studio 2005 or 2003 Generator

[Ryan Connelly]

I have a question about TARGET_LINK_LIBRARY(). I noticed that when I add 
linked libraries to a shared library and then link that library with 
another shared library, the last library linked includes ALL previously 
liked libraries when linking.

In other words:

We have 3 shared (dll) libraries: A, B, C. Library B depends on and 
links with shared library A. Library C depends on B (and not A). 
However, the link line for C includes A. Shouldn't it just include B. If 
I remove the A library from C's link line, I am still able to link the 
library. It seems that Cmake is adding these extra libraries unnecessarily.

I am using Visual Studio 2005.
