Not, that odd.  In CMake 1.4, sources are passed around in variables as simple strings.
Until a command needs to actually do something with the file, the source object is
not created.  The abstract flag is on the source file object, so it requires it
to be created.

I am not sure I get this problem.    I don't think cmake ever had dependencies on shared libraries.  It should only need to relink if the interface has changed.   And the
only way to change the interface, is by changing a .h file.   Perhaps the real problem
you are having is with the depends in the .h files.
