I would be quite frankly amazed if someone couldn't write a 10-line CMake 
macro that can determine if a .LIB file is static or shared.  I wonder if 
simply keying on certain ASCII keywords in the .LIB file wouldn't be good 
enough (this would need some testing though, unless someone can find a 
detailed .LIB file specification).
