[Cmake] Problems with Library Dependencies

[William A. Hoffman]

Add it as a feature request in the bug tracker.
However, I am a bit confused by your comment that your source
is too big for one Makefile.   You can have SUBDIRS in cmake, and
as long as the ADD_LIBRARY is within the project all the depend stuff
will work just fine.   Is the library you are finding built by cmake?
