[CMake] Can't get static executable

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

I'm anxiously waiting on this feature as well.

I have been in communication with Brad King about this and he told me
it's no easy feat. He has to rewrite a lot of the linking algorithm to
allow archive-libraries.

He also told me that it'll be available in CMake 2.6.0, so I'm afraid
we're out of luck there for quite some time.


Greetings
