The use of gflags_LIBRARIES is merely a workaround. It would be nicer to have a "gflags" import target for the (requested) default variant of the gflags library (i.e., static vs. shared and threaded vs. serial).

The gflags_TARGET contains the name of the originally exported import target whose properties are copied over to the "gflags" import target.

The gflags_TARGET variable contains the name of the originally exported import target. The "gflags" import target contains a copy of the relevant properties of this import target created by CMake. The gflags_LIBRARIES variable can be used to be consistent with other packages, but is otherwise no longer needed. In most cases, "target_link_libraries(foo gflags)" should be used.

- gflags <= 2.1.2 has a bug in its exported gflags-config.cmake:
  gflags/gflags#110 whereby it sets
  gflags_LIBRARIES to a non-existent 'gflags' target.
- This causes linker errors if gflags is installed in a non-standard
  location (as otherwise CMake resolves gflags to -lgflags which
  links if gflags is installed somewhere on the current path).
- We now check for this case, and search for the correct gflags imported
  target and update gflags_LIBRARIES to reference it if found, otherwise
  proceed on to the original manual search to try to find gflags.
