Uhhh, yes, you're absolutely right. Of course, with a component-
aware find module, one would request the static library via

FIND_PACKAGE(DIM COMPONENTS static)

instead of DIM_USE_STATIC. In fact, the latter becomes obsolete
and can be dropped. Thanks for the hint, and sorry for not re-
reading my own reply carefully before hitting "Send"... ;-)
