By default, CMake handles transitive linking. That is, if A links to B
and B links to C, then CMake knows that A must also link to C. This is
true for shared libraries. I'm not sure how having static libraries in
the mix affects this situation, but I suspect that's why the jpeg
library is showing up.

I'm also a little puzzled by your filenames. Is your jpeg library really
called "liblibjpeg"? That seems weird. Also, are these .dll.a static
libraries? That's an unusual naming convention.
