This is the default for mingw.  See 
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-windows/bksys/doc/html/library_filename_specification.html

and from the mingw ld 
      --dll-search-prefix string
          When  linking  dynamically to a dll without an import library, 
search for "<string><basename>.dll" in preference to
          "lib<basename>.dll". This behaviour allows easy distinction between 
DLLs  built  for  the  various  "subplatforms":
          native, cygwin, uwin, pw, etc.  For instance, cygwin DLLs typically 
use "--dll-search-prefix=cyg".  [This option is
          specific to the i386 PE targeted port of the linker]
