After my previous response I experimented a little more, and I got it
to work. My mistake was that I needed to add the configuration line to
the executable target, not the lib. So in my example, add the
following line to the Demo/CMakeLists.txt file:

set_target_properties(helloDemo PROPERTIES LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED true)

..and it works like a charm. I wonder why this isn't the default
behavior; can you think of any scenario where this would produce
invalid results?

Thanks for your help!
