Thanks for taking a look. Per Daniel's new review policy:

 cmake reviews needed!

please provide the necessary +1 when ready.

IIRC the checks were originally written that way many years
ago to duplicate what the non-CMake buildsystem was doing
for its checks at the time. Most of the headers/libs do
not actually have dependencies on all of the preceding ones.
Those without dependencies could be split out and made
independent. Those with dependencies could be spelled out
explicitly in order. That would take some investigation
and a lot of testing though.

For now though, the old logic needs to be restored to fix
the build on OS X and a few other platforms.

Thanks,
