  // the dependency graph for those libraries.
  //
  // The latter is done using the cache entries that record the
  // dependencies of each library.
  //
  // The former is a more thorny issue, since it is not clear how to
  // determine if two libraries listed on the link line refer to the a
  // single library or not. For example, consider the link "libraries"
  //    /usr/lib/libtiff.so -ltiff 
  // Is this one library or two? The solution implemented here is the
  // simplest (and probably the only practical) one: two libraries are
  // the same if their "link strings" are identical. Thus, the two
  // libraries above are considered distinct. This also means that for
  // dependency analysis to be effective, the CMake user must specify
  // libraries build by his project without using any linker flags or
  // file extensions. That is,
  //    LINK_LIBRARIES( One Two )
  // instead of
  //    LINK_LIBRARIES( -lOne ${binarypath}/libTwo.a )
  // The former is probably what most users would do, but it never
  // hurts to document the assumptions. :-) Therefore, in the analysis
  // code, the "canonical name" of a library is simply its name as
  // given to a LINK_LIBRARIES command.
  //
  // Also, we will leave the original link line intact; we will just add any
  // dependencies that were missing.
  //
  // There is a problem with recursive external libraries
  // (i.e. libraries with no dependency information that are
  // recursively dependent). We must make sure that the we emit one of
  // the libraries twice to satisfy the recursion, but we shouldn't
  // emit it more times than necessary. In particular, we must make
  // sure that handling this improbable case doesn't cost us when
  // dealing with the common case of non-recursive libraries. The
  // solution is to assume that the recursion is satisfied at one node
  // of the dependency tree. To illustrate, assume libA and libB are
  // extrenal and mutually dependent. Suppose libX depends on
  // libA, and libY on libA and libX. Then
  //   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( Y X A B A )
  //   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( X A B A )
  //   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( Exec Y )
  // would result in "-lY -lX -lA -lB -lA". This is the correct way to
  // specify the dependencies, since the mutual dependency of A and B
  // is resolved *every time libA is specified*.
  //
  // Something like
  //   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( Y X A B A )
  //   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( X A B )
  //   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( Exec Y )
  // would result in "-lY -lX -lA -lB", and the mutual dependency
  // information is lost. This is because in some case (Y), the mutual
  // dependency of A and B is listed, while in another other case (X),
  // it is not. Depending on which line actually emits A, the mutual
  // dependency may or may not be on the final link line.  We can't
  // handle this pathalogical case cleanly without emitting extra
  // libraries for the normal cases. Besides, the dependency
  // information for X is wrong anyway: if we build an executable
  // depending on X alone, we would not have the mutual dependency on
  // A and B resolved.
  //
  // IMPROVEMENTS:
  // -- The current algorithm will not always pick the "optimal" link line
  //    when recursive dependencies are present. It will instead break the
  //    cycles at an aribtrary point. The majority of projects won't have
  //    cyclic dependencies, so this is probably not a big deal. Note that
