Description

In Visual Studio, there are

#pragma comment(lib, "XXX")

syntax to specify a library file for Linker.
When you write a #pragma in your c/c++ source code or header file,
the linkage-editor recognize it and links the library file.

I hope that OpenCV use its usefull syntax.

For example, Boost C++ library is using its technique, and
user who use the library in visual studio
can use the library without specifying library files manually.
There are no linker errors, no side effect (if library search path is specified correctly).

It's like a .pc files of pkg-config in Unix/Linux environment.
