CMake example comparing object library and static library.

Object library is a very useful feature which is introduced in cmake 2.8.8.

This feature allows us group a bunch of object files and pass them as src to add_library or add_executable.

Benefits:

• Avoids unnecessary static library creation
• No need for linking hack for circular static library dependency

Run make VERBOSE=1 to see the actual compile and link commands.
