[CMake] [CMAKE] OS X Framework and their name

[Marco Antognini]

I'm ending this monologue by this message. I hope this will help someone on day..

Currently, that is with cmake 2.8.4, this is completely not possible. I go through most of the sources
and found cmTarget::GetFullNameInternal. Here is the relevant part of the function :

void cmTarget::GetFullNameInternal(const char* config,
                                   bool implib,
                                   std::string& outPrefix,
                                   std::string& outBase,
                                   std::string& outSuffix)
{
  // Use just the target name for non-main target types.
  if(this->GetType() != cmTarget::STATIC_LIBRARY &&
     this->GetType() != cmTarget::SHARED_LIBRARY &&
     this->GetType() != cmTarget::MODULE_LIBRARY &&
     this->GetType() != cmTarget::EXECUTABLE)
    {
    outPrefix = "";
    outBase = this->GetName();
    outSuffix = "";
    return;
    }
    :
    :
}

As you can see if GetType() returns FRAMEWORK then the function will ignore the prefix and suffix.
