Your right, If tried filemon from www.sysinternals.com to see which 
files cmake opens. It searches for .lib extension, while mingw uses an 
.a extension, second import libraries are prefixed with 'lib', which 
isn't search. Are there any cmake options or settings to add default 
library prefix and suffixes ?
