[CMake] Can imported libraries depend on ExternalProject targets?

[Kent Williams]

If I understand what's going on in that bug report, yes
add_dependency(imported_library EP_target) should work.  But I found
that in fact it did not.  So maybe that is a bug; if this was fixed in
2.8.4, I don't understand why I still have  a problem.
