OK. It's all working now. Using the name is ok, but its very odd that the source don't exist yet. Never mind. (I guess the Abstract flag forces the sources to be created because they're needed to set the flag, but the concrete ones get delayed....I think I understand what's happening now..)

Queue alleluiah chorus and much loud cheering and stamping. This will rectify a fundamental design issu with cnmake (in my humble opinion).

Many thanks for feedback. Still having dependency trouble with TargetLinkLibs(...)
