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.

Have you tried the other way?

ADD_LIBRARY(chicken)
IF(WIN32 AND NOT CYGWIN)
  SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(chicken PROPERTIES PREFIX "lib")
ENDIF(WIN32 AND NOT CYGWIN)

I think that setting PREFIX to "" is the same as not setting it.
The above did not work when I first tried the chicken stuff, but
I think it will work now.
