Thanks, Bill, for your response.

How do I get access to the actual link flags used for the link command
generated by cmake (which presumably includes all the appropriate -L and -l
flags to access lib[xyz] and libexternal[12] as well as platform-dependent
link flags).  I need those actual link flags to configure pkg-config files
that describe how external applications should link to libx, liby, and libz.
