[Cmake] How to change the default output file name for libraries in Linux

[Raghavendra Chandrashekara]

I tried putting ADD_LIBRARY(mymodule MODULE ...) in the CMakeLists.txt 
file but the target still has a lib prefix. What I am trying to do is 
create a module for python using swig. But in the wrapper python code 
generated by swig, the first line reads:

import _mymodule

so the library needs to be called _mymodule.so. Will I have to manually 
rename the files my self?

Thanks,

Raghavendra

PS. Will swig be supported in any upcoming releases of CMake?
