Re: [cmake-developers] Allow ALIAS of IMPORTED targets

Hi, Being able to alias imported targets would be a great feature. Just an addition to the exports discussion, I also don't think it is necessary. Besides the EXPORT_NAME property I was not aware of either, I would instead expect to see an add_library (old_name ALIAS new_name) in the
