[QBS] Link static libraries with shared library.

[Ruslan Nigmatullin]

I guess that QBS script for application should be able to have access to all other products somehow, smth like this:

CppApplication {
    name: "myapp"

    cpp.staticLibraries: {
        var libraries = [];
        for (var i in project.products) {
            var product = project.products[i];
            if (product.type.indexOf('staticplugin')) {
                var plugins = product.artficats.staticplugin;
                for (var j in plugins)
                    libraries.push(plugins[j].fileName);
            }
        }
        return libraries;
    }
}

But it's ugly as we can't resolve product dependencies. May be it's possible to create automatic Depends notation? Like this:

CppApplication {
    name: "myapp"

    // Pick up all artifacts with this tag from all products
    Depends {
        id: staticPlugins
        fileTags: "staticplugin"
    }

    // So qbs could determine all out dependencies and application will be built correctly
    cpp.staticLibraries: {
        var result = [];
        for (var i in staticPlugins)
            result.push(staticPlugins[i].fileName);
        return result;
}

This looks better, but breaks current idea that all dependencies are listed directly.
