I know very little of CMake - but I had several trial-and-error
sessions ....

Setting LIB_POSTFIX is such an example. It is declared and defined in
the CMakeLists.txt file in the root directory of the source tree:

SET(LIB_POSTFIX "")
IF(UNIX AND NOT WIN32 AND NOT APPLE)
  IF(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P MATCHES "8")
      SET(LIB_POSTFIX "64")
  ENDIF(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P MATCHES "8")
ENDIF(UNIX AND NOT WIN32 AND NOT APPLE)


Yet I'm unable to override LIB_POSTFIX with  -D ""

After appplying the patch by Luigi:

 SET(OUTPUT_BINDIR ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin)

.... I _am_ able to override LIB_POSTFIX. Maybe the relevant line is this
- but in fact I'm just guessing:

      MARK_AS_ADVANCED(LIB_POSTFIX)


Cheers,
        Martin.
