Windows-GNU: Do not tell find_library to treat '.dll' as linkable
Modern software distributions always use a separate ".dll.a" or ".lib" import library for linking.

+mingw-no-find_library-dll
+-------------------------
+
+* When building with GNU tools on Windows (MinGW tools), the
+ :command:`find_library` command will no longer consider
+ ``.dll`` files to be linkable libraries. All dynamic link
+ libraries are expected to provide separate ``.dll.a`` or
+ ``.lib`` import libraries.
