Same sceneario but instead specify a flat name with '-'

   add_library( bag-service-external SHARED whatever.c )
   SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( bag-service-external PROPERTIES
                  SUFFIX ""
                  PREFIX ""
   )

 $(TargetFileName)=bag-service-external
 $(TargetName)=bag-service-external
 $(TargetExt)=.dll


So the resulting filename has .dll appended to it.

actually the correct result requires a single . in the filename,
neither projects with no . or with multiple . works.
