Summary0015705: Sets SONAME for modules
Descriptioncmake sets an SONAME for modules by default which doesn't make much sense.
It's only useful for shared libraries that application link against.

In particular this is a problem for Debian as it has tools to track which symbols are exported by libraries.
This tool looks at all shared libraries that have an SONAME so currently it also records the symbols of plugins generated by cmake-using projects.

Attached is a patch that changes this behavior in cmake.

For reference, the NO_SONAME target property was added for 0013155:

 Support building shared libraries or modules without soname
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=e1409ac5 [^]

 Test NO_SONAME property
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdb3f878 [^]

I added separate testing for NO_SONAME on SHARED libraries:

 Tests: Cover NO_SONAME property for SHARED libraries
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=899458ab [^]

and then applied your patch with updates to the docs and tests:

 Do not set SONAME for MODULE library targets
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=f799ffb5 [^]
