Summary

0011001: CMake's find_library does not look in mingw's lib directory.

Description

When using the find_library method when generating msys makefiles, CMake does not find libraries in mingw's default library directory.

So if you have mingw installed in c:\mingw, then
find_library(GLUT_LIBRARY glut)
will return NOT_FOUND instead of "c:\mingw\lib\libglut.a".

Possible workarounds:
1. add the line:
string(REGEX REPLACE "/bin/.+" "/lib" CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH "${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}")

2. add -lglut to the linker flags. (not portable)
