The feature was merged to CMake master today, so it will be part of 2.8.12.

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=370bf55415

So, we'll end up having code something like this:

 add_library(KArchive ${karchive_SRCS})

 # Read-only use of 'KF5::KArchive' is now the same as 
 # using 'KArchive' directly.
 add_library(KF5::KArchive ALIAS KArchive)

 # Works before and after split:
 target_link_libraries(anything KF5::KArchive)

Thanks,

Steve.
