You can avoid renaming the shared object like this:

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(hello PROPERTIES PREFIX "")

This way the shared library won't have the "lib" prefix.

BTW, I'm using CMake + Boost.Python and I'm happy about it, the only issue I 
have is that I can't compile it under Windows (MinGW) because of some 
dllimport errors. Have you had any experience about it?
