Our use case is we have a large number of libraries and plugins, but only
four of those (IIRC) use X11_LIBRARIES. I prefer to use -L directly in
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES rather than use the LINK_DIRECTORIES alternative
since
the latter would would add an unnecessary (and possibly inefficient)
directory search for the link steps for most of our libraries/plugins. Of
course, this entire issue is moot if -l flags never appear in X11_LIBRARIES
for any platform because then I could drop the -L flag altogether.
OK, but -L is not even a supported flag for some compilers.
