Could someone please clarify if this was working on makefile builds? 
You say it was /path/to/libfoo.a, and that implies linux/unix.   I want 
to make sure this is not a new issue.  As far as I know /path/to/foo 
always failed (even in CMake 2.4) for any makefile builds included 
nmake, and unix makefiles.  The only time it worked was with the VS IDE.

Thanks.
