[CMake] Win32 linker line problems...

[Lars Pechan]

Hi Bill,
I have already set the compiler flags to use MTd and it doesn't help.

There is a particular directory in the tree containing about 100 cpp 
files that have functions from LIBCMT.LIB copied into the individual 
object files. I've been trying to understand why but I'm afraid I've 
drawn a blank. I thought it might be a dodgy '#pragma' or a particlular 
MS header or something but I haven't been able to find anything. There 
some info from MS  about this happening when using MFC but MFC isn't 
even used in that directory. Everywhere else the C and C++ files 
compile fine. (The same compiler flags are used practically 
everywhere.)

If there are any MS Linker gurus on the list I'd be most grateful for a 
pointer. (operator new is listed as a COMDAT in the object files).

Thanks anyway,

/Lars
