I'd suggest to send this patch to cmake-developers at cmake.org .

I don't have an opinion on this. (Whether the API is nice or not is a matter 
of taste, and increasing number of things can/has to be set via target 
properties, so from that POV it can be argued that having to set the PREFIX 
property is ok.)
