# CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS(<var> LIBRARIES lib1 lib2...libN
#                                     [CONFIGURATION <config>] )
#
# CMAKE_EXPAND_IMPORTED_TARGETS() takes a list of libraries and replaces
# all imported targets contained in this list with their actual file paths
# of the referenced libraries on disk, including the libraries from their
# link interfaces.
# If a CONFIGURATION is given, it uses the respective configuration of the
# imported targets if it exists. If no CONFIGURATION is given, it uses
# the first configuration from ${CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES} if set, otherwise
# ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}.
# This macro is used by all Check*.cmake files which use
# TRY_COMPILE() or TRY_RUN() and support CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES , so that
# these checks support imported targets in CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES:
#    cmake_expand_imported_targets(expandedLibs LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES}
#                                               CONFIGURATION "${CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION}" )
