[CMake] CMake CVS still has liblib problem

I notice that in CMake CVS, statements like

SET(CHICKEN_LIB_NAME libchicken)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(libchicken PROPERTIES PREFIX "")

still don't work.  I end up with things like liblibchicken.a.  That is 
too bad.  I don't know if anyone intended to work on this for CMake 
2.3.  It would make CMake a lot less verbose when dealing with Unix vs. 
Windows library naming conventions.  As it stands, I have long-winded 
variable names for everything.  It reduces readability and probably 
looks less-than-elegant to people who aren't converted to CMake yet.


Cheers,
