I noticed that here you said ".${CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX}" using a the
dot, and in the example you gave you don't use it. Anyway, I tried both and
it doesn't find the library using your recommendations (lib prefix,
capitalization). I also checked my CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and it didn't have any
path so I added the corresponding one where krosspython.so is located and
the results were the same, CMake doesn't find the library.

Yes, this CMake code is to check whether or not the krosspython library is
installed on the system when you execute the configure file before build.
We think it is necessary to check it because it allows the user to know
which functionalities you will have. As krosspython is used to be able to
run Python plugins via Kross, the user can decide whether or not to have
those features.
Btw, what do you mean by "runtime things that actually changes the result"?
