[CMake] Can I change the extension of a dll?

[Mike Jackson]

This is what I use for my own expat library:

#----- Use MSVC Naming conventions for Shared Libraries
IF (MINGW AND BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
     SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( expat
         PROPERTIES
         IMPORT_SUFFIX ".lib"
         IMPORT_PREFIX ""
         PREFIX ""
     )
ENDIF (MINGW AND BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)

So, under MinGW, dynamic libraries would be expat.lib

For your case you would want something like:
IF ( BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
     SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( ${PythonCDM_NAME
         PROPERTIES
         IMPORT_SUFFIX ".pyd"
         IMPORT_PREFIX ""
         PREFIX ""
     )
ENDIF (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)

I _think_ that is what you want. I am still "new" to windows dll  
stuff so I may be off base a bit but you get the idea where to look.
