[Chicken-users] CMake problem on Linux should be solved

[Brandon J. Van Every]

CMake 2.4.3 has a bug where static and dynamic libraries clobber each 
other during the build if they have the same rootname.  The bug affects 
all OSes.  Previously I thought it only affected Windows, and I 
implemented hacks during the INSTALL to get around it.  Felix reported a 
problem on Linux and Bill of Kitware confirmed that it's the same bug.

I decided it is too complicated to do more INSTALL hacks, as I don't 
really know what suffixes are apropos on Linux or arbitrary OSes in 
general, nor do I have the ability to test them.  So, static libraries 
are now built in a /static subdirectory.  This took some refactoring of 
CMakeLists.txt.  It wasn't trivial but it was doable, about a day's 
work.  The results are now in Darcs.  I have confirmed that VS 7.1, 
MinGW, and Cygwin all build and install just fine now.  I am projecting 
that Linux will build and install just fine now as well, since it will 
go through the same code path as the MinGW build.

I await your tests.
