For PLplot we deal with this problem by keeping track of the library
dependencies specified to TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES in a (list) variable.  If a
variable doesn't serve your needs (say if you need the information in
another subdirectory), then I assume you could also set a special target
property using SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES and retrieve it later using
GET_TARGET_PROPERTY.
