I have just discovered that for -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, the combination of FindQt4.cmake and UseQt4.cmake inserts the keywords debug, optimized, AND general into the QT_LIBRARIES list to divide the list into three sections. But only the debug section of that list is used by target_link_libraries for the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug case.
Could we have a cleaner design that doesn't specify the target_link_libraries keywords and which simply returns in QT_LIBRARIES whatever is relevant for the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE that is specified? A clean design matters in a practical sense because QT_LIBRARIES has other uses than just for target_link_libraries. For example, in PLplot, we use QT_LIBRARIES to configure a *.pc file containing pkg-config information for PLplot users. Therefore, I am going to have to write a parsing routine to dump all the irrelevant information from QT_LIBRARIES for whatever CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is specified. I am stuck with this task regardless since some of our users still have cmake-2.6.0. Neverthess, I thought I would plea for a clean design of the combination of FindQt4.cmake and UseQt4.cmake here for the ultimate benefit of users of later CMake versions.
