I'm still think it might be a good idea to add a new command additionally to 
target_link_libraries() for that, like e.g.
target_use_package(foo bar)

because in the example above the same syntax is used as with current cmake but 
much more happens. A new command name for that would make it easier for 
somebody who knows cmake to see that here something different is going on.
