Yes, I am reimplementing MS's standard libraries with foo.lib, and
therefore it needs to be first in linking order.

I am planning to reset CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT and
CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LIBRARIES_INIT to "".  Then set my own libraries
variable.

I was hoping that there was a way to get rid of the $(NOINHERIT)
property which should take the library defaults at the end of the link
line instead of the beginning.   But, there must be some reason why
this variable is being set rather than taking the visual studio
defaults.

Thank you for your help.
