[CMake] Bug in library link order?

[Marcel Loose]

Hi Denis,

That doesn't really matter. What *does* matter is that libraries appear
in "dependency order". I mean by that: if libA depends on libB, then
libB must appear after libA on the link line. But if libA does not
depend on, say libxml, than the order of these two libs is irrelevant.

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
