[CMake] Win32 shared lib names incorrect for Java Wrapper using Mingw32

All,
I am having a problem generating the Java wrappers for VTK 5.6.0 using 
CMAKE 2.8.2. The problem is the shared libraries are all prefixed with 
"lib" (the unix style specification), even though I am using WinXP. the 
System.loadLibrary("vtkCommonJava") which should be portable between 
JVM's running on unix and windows machines generates a name of 
"vtkCommonJava.dll" on windows platforms and no such library is created 
by the Java wrapper build. the names for both the java wrappers and the 
required shared libraries are all prefixed with "lib".

I found a bool flag in cmLocalGenerator.h called IgnoreLibPrefix which 
sounds like it might be the required indicator, and I can see where when 
the cmGlobalMingWMakefileGenerator.CXX is used it is set to True, but I 
cannot find any test for the value, nor exactly where the target library 
name is actually set.

Does anyone have a workaround or correction to correctly generate the 
windows DLL names in VTK?

thanks in advance,
Jim Peterson
