gather up the linker flags in a macro


#TESTING TIME
include(CheckCCompilerFlag)
#when you need to check for a linker flag, just leave the argument of "check_c_compiler_flag" empty

# CMAKE_C{XX}_FLAGS is for compiler flags (c and c++)
# CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS is for linker flags (also add them to pascal_flags and haskell_flags)
# CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS same but for shared libraries

#TODO: should there be two different checks for C and CXX?

#stack protection, when found it needs to go in the linker flags too
#it is disabled on win32 because it adds a dll and messes with linker
