In principle, CMake has enough knowledge to look for it by scanning
the current LINK_DIRECTORIES for libA.

I tried this before my previous post, and it didn't work. The problem
is that the directory still appears on the command line, and it is
interpreted as a library.

I think both a <LINK_DIRECTORIES> and a <LINK_ONLY_LIBRARIES> is
necessary, because dmc can't deal with the directory paths being on
the command line.
