Subject: [PATCH] SDL2Config.cmake: Clean it up a bit, remove gcc-style
 SDL2_LIBRARIES

The GCC-style SDL2_LIBRARIES were lacking the rpath on Linux, which
seems to be implicitly set when linking path/to/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.*
and is explicitly set in the SDL2_LIBRARIES in sdl2-config.cmake
(from some autotools variable), so I removed that hack and the format
remains sth like "path/to/libSDL2main.a;path/to/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.14.1".

It's still in the revision history in case it turns out that some
platform really needs the "-L/path/to/bla/lib -lSDL2main -lSDL2" format
