[CMake] linking with .so w/ non-standard names

[Dominik Szczerba]

BTW> I am doing such tricks for annoying bad-named stuff:

	SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(

		PROPERTIES
		EXTERNAL_OBJECT true # if it should be compiled or only linked
		GENERATED false      # if the obj-files exist before build time
	)
