[CMake] How to tell an executable where to look for libraries it depends on

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Lucas.

There's no portable way to do that, simply because not all systems support
something like this (e.g. Windows doesn't ). For Linux, you can look into
the various options of handling RPATH (such as BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH,
SKIP_BUILD_RPATH, INSTALL_RPATH etc.).
