I've been playing with the private/public/interface keyword to 
target_link_libraries. It seems to me that WHAT they do is well documented, but 
nobody has ever actually documented what they correct rules of WHEN/WHY you 
should use any of them. After a lot of misstarts I think I've started to 
understand what the rules should be. I think they need to be written down 
someplace so that others don't have to make the mistakes I have. Also it would 
be nice if others would look this list over to see what else might be 
overlooking.

Can somebody point me to a good place to do this? Sending to the mailing list 
seems like a poor solution as corrections will not be easily findable.  A wiki 
seems ideal, but which? KDE in particular should probably have these rules in 
their official requirements, but I'm not sure if they are the correct ones to 
own them.
