+Libraries linked may not have leading or trailing whitespace.
+
+CMake versions 2.4 and below silently removed leading and trailing
+whitespace from libraries linked with code like
+
+::
+
+ target_link_libraries(myexe " A ")
+
+This could lead to subtle errors in user projects.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to silently remove leading and
+trailing whitespace. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to diagnose
+the existence of such whitespace as an error. The setting for this
+policy used when checking the library names is that in effect when the
+target is created by an :command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library`
+command.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0. CMake version
+|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. Use
+the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
