This specifies what suffixes to add to library names when the
:command:`find_library` command looks for libraries. On Windows systems this

is typically ``.lib`` and, depending on the compiler, ``.dll.a``, ``.a``
(e.g. GCC and Clang), so when it tries to find the ``foo`` library, it will

:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES`.
