BUG: Preserve shared lib order for 2.4 compatibility

We preserve the order and multiplicity of libraries directly linked by a
target as specified by the user.  Items known to be shared libraries may
be safely skipped because order preservation is only needed for static
libraries.  However, CMake 2.4 did not skip shared libs, so we do the
same when in 2.4 compatibility mode.
