+CMP0004
+-------
+
+Libraries linked may not have leading or trailing whitespace.
+
+CMake versions 2.4 and below silently removed leading and trailing
+whitespace from libraries linked with code like
+
+::
+
+ target_link_libraries(myexe " A ")
+
+This could lead to subtle errors in user projects.
+
+The OLD behavior for this policy is to silently remove leading and
+trailing whitespace. The NEW behavior for this policy is to diagnose
+the existence of such whitespace as an error. The setting for this
+policy used when checking the library names is that in effect when the
+target is created by an add_executable or add_library command.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0. CMake version
+|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
+the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
