       or SHLIB_PATH, in searching for shared libraries.  This changes
       the default search order of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SHLIB_PATH, and
       RPATH (embedded path).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Notes about dependent (transitive) shared libraries:
+
+On non-Windows systems shared libraries may have transitive
+dependencies.  In order to support LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES we must
+support linking to a shared library without listing all the libraries
+to which it links.  Some linkers want to be able to find the
+transitive dependencies (dependent libraries) of shared libraries
+listed on the command line.
+
+  - On Windows, DLLs are not directly linked, and the import libraries
+    have no transitive dependencies.
+
+  - On Mac, we need to actually list the transitive dependencies.
+    Otherwise when using -isysroot for universal binaries it cannot
+    find the dependent libraries.  Listing them on the command line
+    tells the linker where to find them, but unfortunately also links
+    the library.
+
+  - On HP-UX, the linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of
+    shared libraries in the -L paths even if the dependent libraries
+    are given on the link line.
+
+  - On AIX the transitive dependencies are not needed.
+
+  - On SGI, the linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of
+    shared libraries in the -L paths if they are not given on the link
+    line.  Transitive linking can be disabled using the options
+
+      -no_transitive_link -Wl,-no_transitive_link
+
+    which disable it.  Both options must be given when invoking the
+    linker through the compiler.
+
+  - On Sun, the linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of
+    shared libraries in the -L paths if they are not given on the link
+    line.
+
+  - On Linux, FreeBSD, and QNX:
+
+    The linker wants to find the transitive dependencies of shared
+    libraries in the "-rpath-link" paths option if they have not been
+    given on the link line.  The option is like rpath but just for
+    link time:
+
+      -Wl,-rpath-link,"/path1:/path2"
+
+For -rpath-link, we need a separate runtime path ordering pass
+including just the dependent libraries that are not linked.
+
+For -L paths on non-HP, we can do the same thing as with rpath-link
+but put the results in -L paths.  The paths should be listed at the
+end to avoid conflicting with user search paths (?).
+
+For -L paths on HP, we should do a runtime path ordering pass with
+all libraries, both linked and non-linked.  Even dependent
+libraries that are also linked need to be listed in -L paths.
+
+In our implementation we add all dependent libraries to the runtime
+path computation.  Then the auto-generated RPATH will find everything.
