CMake does support version numbers for shared libraries on some 
platforms, but currently windows DLL versioning is not included.  You 
can try using

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(mydll PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "/versionflags")

where "/versionflags" are the proper flags to tell MSVC to put a version 
number in the DLL.  I do not know if this will work and have not tried it.

Please also add a feature request for this to the bug tracker:

and you will be notified automatically when the feature is implemented.
