[CMake] Problem with link directories

[William A. Hoffman]

The LINK_DIRECTORIES has to be before the ADD_EXECUTABLE.
Another way to do it that should work for both version of cmake
is to use the full path to the library in target_link_libraries.

target_link_libraries(MyProject d:/dcmtk-3.5.3/dcmdata.lib)

The duplicate library stuff has been fixed in cvs CMake as well.
