[CMake] automatic library dependencies causing problems

[William A. Hoffman]

This example is to complicated.   Can you provide a smaller one that shows
the problem?

Basically, cmake only does what you tell it.   Sounds like you need
to remove a TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES or a LINK_LIBRARIES command.

I would expect you could create an example in one cmakelist file that showed
the problem.
