[CMake] Import libraries prefix bug under windows?

[Ronan Collobert]

Yes, indeed, it does work with SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES.

CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX advantage is that it set up the prefix for 
all libraries. So no need each time you have a library target to have 
this SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES additional line.

Like that, I do not remember where I saw doc about it. It is actually 
referenced (without any comments) on the CMake Useful Variables page:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables

Also, if you look at the code of CMake in Modules/Platform/*.cmake it is 
used in  a lot of scripts to initialize the default prefixes (including 
Windows!).

Cheers,
Ronan.
