I started testing the patch in Slackware 14.1, which uses cmake 
2.8.12. I have not yet tested backwards compatibility with older 
versions of cmake.

Thus far I saw no cmake warnings in arts (good!), but tdelibs is 
filled with many instances of a single CMP0022 warning:

CMake Error:
  Error evaluating generator expression:

    $<LINK_ONLY:-Wl,-whole-archive>

  $<LINK_ONLY> expression requires exactly one parameter.


CMake Warning (dev) in tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-
manager/CMakeLists.txt:
  Policy CMP0022 is not set: INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES defines the 
link
  interface.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0022" for policy details. 
 Use the
  cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

  Static library target "network_manager_backend-static" has a
  INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.  This should be preferred as 
the source
  of the link interface for this library.  Ignoring the property 
and using
  the link implementation as the link interface instead.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress 
it.


I am not seeing any of the original warning messages.
