cmake only uses the "name" part and adds automatically suffix and prefix. So 
it knows everytime an executable or library is used, that it has to add them. 
This works really well and can probably be also implemented for scons. It has 
the side effect that if you have e.g. the executable "kdevelop" and the 
library "libkdevelop.so" both will be called simply "kdevelop" on cmake 
level.
