Actually just use "LOCATION" or "LOCATION_${CONFIG}" for some CONFIG:

  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#prop_tgt:LOCATION
  http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#prop_tgt:LOCATION_CONFIG

They will tell you where to find the target file for any target,
including imported targets.  The IMPORTED_... properties are really
meant for *setting* to tell CMake something, not for *getting*
information from CMake.
