I'm not building Cygwin or MinGW. So, I would have to do something like 
this?

ADD_LIBRARY(foo SHARED ${FooSources})
ADD_LIBRARY(foos STATIC ${FooSources})

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(foos PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME foo)

Won't that build all the sources twice?  That's not really optimal when 
there's no difference between the resulting object files. I'd rather it 
ran the linker twice, once for shared and once for static, with the same 
object files. Or maybe that's me being too optimistic?

Also, what if I turned around and did this:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(bar ${BarSources})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(bar foo)

Would it link against foo or foos?
