Hi,

I have thought about CMake doing something automatically here, however, 
it could get tricky pretty fast, and it is pretty easy to fix in the 
CMake file of the project.

Your example would be:

enable_language(Fortran)
enable_language(C)
add_library(tst_lib_f tst.F)
add_executable(tst  cfunc.c)
target_link_libraries(tst tst_lib_f)

You run into trouble with things like shared libraries.   However, it is 
not impossible.   There just has not been enough interest to date in 
implementing this feature.
