Well,
Actually I _did_ put a CMake wrapper on LibZ that _does_ in fact
decorate
the library names. I did the same thing for expat, libTiff and HDF5
because
I ran into all of these same issues a few years back. I then wrote

Wouldn't it have been way easier if that had been done already?
Yes, it was done already (For some of them) which is what I started
with. But what you find is that the CMake files that someone wrote are
kinda "tweaked" for their project and don't really work for yours so
you end up forking the project, pushing it into your own source repo
and fixing the problems. Exacerbating this issue is that some upstream
developers want NOTHING to do with CMake and so will NOT add the CMake
files to their projects. So you are stuck keeping your own pathced
versions. Is this what is optimal nope but this is what we get.
I thought there was some sort of project setup which aimed to keep
a separate patch for some of the major opensource projects where the
original source would be downloaded then patched with the cmake files
thus creating a "CMakeified" version of the library. Can not remember
what the name of the project was. I think it was hosted at google code.
The straight up answer is: CMake does not do this. If you want it
put it
into your cmake files.
I don't want to keep reinventing the wheel. Do you?
No but I can not wait for someone else to do it either. At least my
code is available if someone wants to use it or improve it.
