I take it you have no infrastructure for dynamic libs at all in your
code then?  Because if you did, like all your declspecs and so forth,
it's pretty easy to add in CMake.  Really the only gotcha is if your
shared and static library names collide, then you need to deal with
the CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT stuff, as per the docs.
