[CMake] Parsing library list with keywords 'debug', 'optimized' and 'general' present

[Yuri Timenkov]

Hi Lori,

If you have options it's better to use imported libraries. They are far more
flexible and allow specifying more than just debug and optimized
configurations.

If you stuck with these keywords, you can look at QT4_EXTRACT_OPTIONS macro
in Qt4Macros.cmake (in CMake distribution). It contains only one option, but
you can use similar approach to extend for any number of named parameters.
