I was trying to fix asio link tests and hit a couple of snags.  I put in 
a workaround (which I bet breaks more than it fixes) and would like some 
feedback from kitware.  The problems i was trying to fix:

1.  The test is to ensure that linking against another built library 
succeeds.  Typically cmake handles things internally with absolute paths 
(not with -L).  How do I send the full path of e.g. boost_system, which 
is hidden from me, to a ctest process (which in turn invokes a cmake 
process, whch invokes a make process)?

2.  The link tests didn't obey CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER, etc.  Compile tests 
probably still don't...

here's the diff:
