Hi Gareth,

Well, you can always put all the mex stuff in subdirectory.

As I said before, CMake 1.6 solves this. You can do things like:

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(library PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "-foobar")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(library PROPERTIES PREFIX "")
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(library PROPERTIES POSTFIX ".mexglx")

This will however only work unix and other Makefile based build systems
for now.
