Static linking fails during CMake configuration

When setting -DHPX_WITH_STATIC_LINKING=ON CMake configuration fails at the end with

This is not very high priority for me so if someone needs it fixed let us know. Curiously this is exactly the error we had before making sure HPX modules are PRIVATE dependencies. I haven't yet figured out if this is a CMake bug or if there's something we can do about it.

This may actually work again now that we export more targets... I'll give this a try in the next days.

Things are better, but still don't work. This is definitely fixable but I'll leave it until someone actually asks for this. Please speak up if you do need it!

If this will not be fixed for V1.4, please add a 'known problems' to the release notes.

[msimberg]

Yeah, good idea. Will do!
