It might interest you to know that I've worked around it a bit by tweaking
the IMPORT_PREFIX property:

    set_target_properties(
        ${modname_dll}
        PROPERTIES
        OUTPUT_NAME
            ${module_name}
        # Required to work around the fact that we rename our shared
libraries
        # to have the same name as our static libraries, so when Visual
Studio's
        # linker tries to create an export library, it clashes with an input
        # library.
        IMPORT_PREFIX
            "import_"
    )

Cheers,
Jason
