Hi, I recently saw that there's a new cmake based version on git and wanted
to add my 2$
First of all thanks! I can't wait to start using it :)
I'll give it a shot soon on aix and hp-sux

Well, you can count on the distro guys reminding you that your bug fix just
broke 100 packages on their build server ;)

I found the following method for setting version and soversion on dynlibs by
looking around
set(ABI_VERSION "${MAJOR_VERSION}.${MINOR_VERSION}")
set(VERSION_STRING
"${MAJOR_VERSION}.${MINOR_VERSION}-r${LIB_REVISION}")
if(WIN32)
set_target_properties( ${LIBRARY_NAME} PROPERTIES
OUTPUT_NAME "${LIBRARY_NAME}.${ABI_VERSION}"
VERSION ${VERSION_STRING})
else()
set_target_properties( ${LIBRARY_NAME} PROPERTIES
OUTPUT_NAME "${LIBRARY_NAME}"
VERSION ${VERSION_STRING}
SOVERSION ${ABI_VERSION} )
endif()
on windows systems this creates dlls with the abi version built in the
filename, while on unix systems it uses the usual symlink method.
btw, thanks for the cool work you're doing for the release :)
