Hi

It would be handy when creating macros that wraps add_library where the number of source files is unknown to be able to write:

add_library( mylib )
target_sources( mylib PRIVATE mylib.c mylib.h )

but this fails with the warning "You have called ADD_LIBRARY for library testlib without any source files. This typically indicates a problem with your CMakeLists.txt file"

I have tried to just remove that check in cmAddLibraryCommand and apart from a warning about missing LINKER_LANGUAGE it works okay.

I guess there are other implications I have not though of as well?
