Brad King bc43b0f2a4 Do not link library dependencies in VS solutions
In VS 8 and greater this commit implements

  add_dependencies(myexe mylib) # depend without linking

by adding the

  LinkLibraryDependencies="false"

option to project files.  Previously the above code would cause myexe to
link to mylib in VS 8 and greater.  This option prevents dependencies
specified only in the solution from being linked.  We already specify
the real link library dependencies in the project files, and any project
depending on this to link would not have worked in Makefile generators.

We were already avoiding this problem in VS 7.1 and below by inserting
intermediate mylib_UTILITY targets.  It was more important for those
versions because if a static library depended on another library the
librarian would copy the dependees into the depender!  This is no longer
the case with VS 8 and above so we do not need that workaround.

See issue #9732.
