The end product may not be an executable, it may be a static library.
A static library cannot include another static library.  I came up
with a hack to find CMake's objects and reuse them, so that the user
of a static library would not have to add additional link flags.  In
particular, I wanted the user to be able to specify -lchicken, and not
have to specify -lchicken -lpcre.
