[CMake] alternative library names?

Hi,

I'm using CMake for a program that links against common libraries which may 
happen to have different names on different architectures (e.g., libfoobar.a, 
libmyfoobar.a, libyourfoobar.a,...).

Until now I was always searching for libs like this

================= *snip* =================
find_library( FOOBAR  foobar  HINTS /possible/path/to/lib/ )
================= *snap* =================

but that is obviously restrictive when it comes to the package name.

How would you deal with this is CMake?

Cheers,
Nico
