CMake devs regularly claim that they do not support convenience
libraries. From my point of view cmake supports the most important
feature of convenience libraries through static libraries. That is
dependency tracking. We use that feature extensively, and so far it
has not failed for us in the last two years. But I am not 100% sure
what libtool does additionally to dependency tracking.
