If "depend" is built by the same project then it should just work.  If 
it is an outside library then you need

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyLib debug depend_d optimized depend)

FYI, CVS CMake has much better support for this, and it will be included 
in the next release.  CMake 2.2 and earlier were a bit flaky with 
CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX.
