Summary0000629: SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( LINK_FLAGS) doesn't work on libraries
Descriptiontrying to set the flags passed to the linker using
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( foo PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "wibble")
doesn't work. Apparently it does work if the target is an executable.

This is because for static libraries there is no linker step.

Can you add the ability to set flags on the command used to create static libraries (its lib under MSVC)

Thanks.

I added a new property called:
STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS

LINK_FLAGS will still be only for things that actually link. That way when you have BUILD_SHARED ON or OFF it won't try and use the wrong flags if it uses a separate property.
