Here's how I do this with CMake 2.4.6.  Unfortunately passing more than
one /NODEFAULTLIB arguments was broken in CMake 2.4.7 (see Bug #5455).

In short, use the SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES() with the LINK_FLAGS or
LINK_FLAGS_DEBUG, LINK_FLAGS_RELEASE, etc. options.


SET(VS_MULTITHREADED_DEBUG_DLL_IGNORE_LIBRARY_FLAGS
    "/NODEFAULTLIB:libc.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmt.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd.lib"
)
SET(VS_MULTITHREADED_RELEASE_DLL_IGNORE_LIBRARY_FLAGS
    "/NODEFAULTLIB:libc.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmt.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd.lib
     /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrtd.lib"
)

IF(MSVC)
     SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(simulator-static PROPERTIES
        LINK_FLAGS_DEBUG
        ${VS_MULTITHREADED_DEBUG_DLL_IGNORE_LIBRARY_FLAGS})

     SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(simulator-static PROPERTIES
         LINK_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO
         ${VS_MULTITHREADED_RELEASE_DLL_IGNORE_LIBRARY_FLAGS})
     SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(simulator-static PROPERTIES
         LINK_FLAGS_RELEASE
         ${VS_MULTITHREADED_RELEASE_DLL_IGNORE_LIBRARY_FLAGS})
     SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(simulator-static PROPERTIES
         LINK_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL
         ${VS_MULTITHREADED_RELEASE_DLL_IGNORE_LIBRARY_FLAGS})
ENDIF(MSVC)
