[CMake] Finding MinGW compiler libraries?

Well, the MinGW compiler doesn't need a foo.a file to link against a
foo.dll file - if foo.dll was created with MinGW itself. Therefore it
makes sense. If the foo.dll was compiled with a different compiler (e.g.
system libraries) this will most likely not work. But how should CMake
know?
