[CMake] padding link arguments to the linker

[Mike Jackson]

The -install_name option is _already_ being specified by cmake  
somewhere so when I tried your suggestion, I get an error during link  
phase that the -install_name option is being specified twice.

Is there a master config file somewhere for cmake that I can just  
edit? How else would cmake know to put in this option?
