[gecode-users] compilation without cygwin

[victor.zverovich at gmail.com]

The names of the libraries produced by the CMake build do not have
version/platform suffix such as "-4-1-0-d-x86" although it is not too
difficult to implement (patches are welcome =)). Therefore you have to
specify the libraries manually when linking and not rely on autolink (or
change the CMake script to produce these suffixes).

Best regards,
Victor
