[CMake] Cygwin & MinGW static and dynamic libs won't coexist

[Brandon J. Van Every]

Cygwin expected nomenclature is:

cygwhatever-xxx.dll - dynamic link lib where -xxx is a version number
libwhatever.dll.a - import lib
libwhatever.a - static lib

MinGW expected nomenclature is:

libwhatever.dll - dynamic link lib
libwhatever.dll.a - import lib
libwhatever.a - static lib

I have a target "chicken-exe" which links against a dynamic library 
target "libchicken".
I have a target "chicken-static" which links against a static library 
target "libchicken-static".
The OUTPUT_NAME of chicken-exe, libchicken, and libchicken-static is 
"chicken".  Prefixes are added by CMake.  So for my problem, I expect 
there is a conflict regarding the root OUTPUT_NAME.

On Cygwin and MinGW CMake 2.4.3, if I type "make chicken-exe", it builds 
fine.  It also produces libchicken.dll.a and deletes libchicken.a.  If I 
type "make chicken-static", it builds fine.  It also produces 
libchicken.a and deletes libchicken.dll.a.  If I type "make," 
chicken-exe builds fine and chicken-static dies with an error:
