    "Consider the code\n"
    "  target_link_libraries(myexe /path/to/libA.so)\n"
    "CMake 2.4 and below implemented linking to libraries whose full paths "
    "are known by splitting them on the link line into separate components "

    "The example code might have produced something like\n"
    "  ... -L/path/to -lA ...\n"

    "An analysis was performed to order multiple link directories such that "
    "the linker would find library A in the desired location, but there "

    "When this policy is set to NEW, CMake will produce a link line such as\n"
