[CMake] Shared library building

[Craig Scott]

Perhaps the BUILD_RPATH
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/BUILD_RPATH.html> and
INSTALL_RPATH
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/INSTALL_RPATH.html> target
properties are (at least partially) what you are looking for? There are
also other associated properties and variables, just search the CMake docs
for RPATH to see the full set.

You still have to handle differences between Apple platforms and other unix
derivatives, but that's typically a manageably small set of differences.
