[Cmake] FIND_LIBRARY : question about name

[William A. Hoffman]

The cygwin cmake looks for libx for me?
Can you give an example?  


If this did not work, then cmake itself would not build under cygwin,
since it needs to find curses and form libraries:

CURSES_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libcurses.a
//Where can the form library be found
FORM_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libform.a
