[CMake] target_link_libraries: prefer static to dynamic

[Pau Garcia i Quiles]

>> What version of CMake are you using?  This should work...  As of 2.6.2 (I think...) CMake uses full paths to libraries, see policy CMP0003: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#policy:CMP0003.  It does not matter if there are two libraries in the same directory.  There is no way to force find_library to find the static one.  However, if you tell CMake to link to a full path to /usr/lib/libsqlite3.a, it should link to /usr/lib/libsqlite3.a even if /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so exists.

I'm using CMake 2.8.0 on Linux. Yes, Michael is right: I want it to
happen automagically. That was the whole point of this thread :-)
