[CMake] Globbing expression

[Arnaud Devalkeneer]

Thanks a lot Marcel.

Another should be :
- make a second GLOB expression gathering all libraries you do not need
- make a LIST( REMOVE_ITEM FIRST_GLOB_RESULT SECOND_BLOG_RESULT)
but I suspect your solution is much efficient...

One additionnal question : do you know how to trigger the GLOB command just
before a link target handling.
Because in my case, the GLOB command is running at the beginning of the
compilation process, regardless
the fact that I need to link to some .so's that have not been built yet.
Is a custom target is a right way?

Thanks again,
Arnaud.
