[CMake] Cygwin ccmake 2.4.2 CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE empty

[Brandon J. Van Every]

As noted, postfixing doesn't appear to work at all on Cygwin.  Is there 
any way to get both cygchicken-0.dll and libchicken.dll.a ?

Cheers,
Brandon Van Every

A typical default is cygwhatever-0.dll.  I am trying to imitate a ./configure build that generates such a name.  Without such imitation the resulting app doesn't work.  Whether the app can rename things to cygwhatever.dll is unresolved.  In any event, Cygwin standard practice (I refrain from calling it a "best" practice) is to put these -xxx postfixes on stuff.
