Hey all,

When tracking down why some custom linker flags weren't working right, I 
realized that CMAKE_EXE_LINKER flags (and its cousins for shared libraries) are 
not semicolon delimited lists but rather treat the flags as a single 
space-delimited string.  I also saw the closed bug report at 
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7476 related to this issue.

I have adjusted my CMakeLists to work correctly given this behavior, but I'm 
wondering why this is the case, as the variable is semantically a list of 
linker arguments and I would intuitively expect the LIST commands to work 
properly with it.  Is it because it eventually gets stored in a target property 
which does not support list values?

Thanks,
