Dave Cole is working on a general purpose way to get depends for a 
project.  It is in Modules/GetPrerequisites.cmake.   In the source tree 
of CMake, there is also:

QtDialog/CMakeIngestOSXBundleLibraries.cmake

That is a previous version of the same thing althoug specific for the
Mac, as we just link static cmake for windows right now.  That should 
work with Qt or any other libraries an application might use.
