I did kdelibs and will check kdepimlibs soon. I think these two modules should 
be most important ones, the other modules have less libraries, so the issue 
is somewhat smaller there.

I think Dirk did already most of the required work, it "just" has to be 
adapted and enabled now.
He added the target property LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES more or less everywhere 
AFAIK. This has to be changed from the target property to the modified 
target_link_libraries( ...  LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES ... ) command.

If somebody else feels like doing this, I'm happy :-)
