[CMake] Why does find_library prefer xxx.dll

[Werner Smekal]

Hi,

I use find_library() to check if a library exists. If the libxxx.dll and 
the libxxx.a files are in the same directory, find_library() returns 
libxxx.dll - but I can't link against this library (windows case).

I could regex replace the dll with the the correct suffix, but is there 
a way to tell find_library() to return the correct filename?

Thanks,
Werner
