[CMake] static libs and more

[Alin M Elena]

Hi, 

1. Few days ago maybe weeks on the list I have seen a discussion about 
static/dynamic linking.

One of the solution proposed there to achieve a static linking was

if (UNIX)
  set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a;.so")
endif(UNIX)
Something similar can be done for windows I suspect.

Maybe you can add an extra argument to find_package(... USE_STATIC)
and internally in FindXXX.cmake to use it to find the correct linkage. Just an 
idea.

2. I read in one post that intel was interested in cmake, fortran and Visual 
Studio.
Having the connections with them you could ask them if they may be interested 
in cmake and MKL. Just a thought as linking against mkl (pure layered 
versions) may be quite a pain for a new user.
