[CMake] CMAKE_xxx_LIBRARY_PREFIX

[Eric Noulard]

Can anyone explain me why
the default CMAKE_xxx_LIBRARY_PREFIX
used for MinGW compiler is 'lib' and not ''.

When I compile my lib "marvelous"
on windows:

- using CMake + Visual Studio I get :
      marvelous.dll

- using CMake + MinGW I get:
     libmarvelous.dll

this seems un-homogeneous choice for the same windows plateform.

I did change the behaviour using:
IF (MINGW)
        SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX "")
        SET(CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX "")
ENDIF (MINGW)

Any good reason for that choice?
