[CMake] linker associated to ifort fortran compiler

[pellegrini]

Hello everybody,

I would like to compile my project using intel fortran compiler on my 
windows machine.

When running the following commands:

cmake -DCMAKE_Fortran_Compiler=ifort -G"NMake Makefiles"
nmake VERBOSE=1

I can see that nmake use the linker 'lib' provided with the intel 
fortran compiler.

But, looking at my generated CMakeCache.txt I see just at the beginning:

CMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=C:/MinGW/bin/ar.exe (I have the Mingw tools installed 
on my machine

Two questions:
    - why cmake uses the 'lib' linker if another one was set in the 
CMakeCache.txt file ?
    - as it actually uses 'lib', how cmake did find the appropriated 
linker ?

thanks

Eric
