CMake requires *libraries*. As in, full paths. It significantly less
difficult to decompose that into -L/-l than to reconstruct them from
said flags.

This feels a lot like a rehash of P1313. I would encourage taking a look
at CPS¹ for an idea what sort of information CMake wants.

Also, what problem are we trying to solve? Consuming a single target
when we already know what target we want? Or consuming a *package*? In
other words, does this system advertise what object files it provides
(e.g. if it has both a libfoo.so and a libfoo.a), or is the consumer
expected to already know that information?
