[cmake-developers] Adding an Android platform module

[Brad King]

Hi Folks,

I've just added a commit for testing and review:

 Add basic Android platform module
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=42f74df6

My goal for now is to get the basic platform information in place
so that it is possible for a toolchain file to be written without
using a custom CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to create a Platform/Android module.

 Make it possible to disable SONAME generation for libraries

I resolved the SONAME issue by creating a way to set the soname ignoring
VERSION/SOVERSION.  There are other open issues in the discussions but I
do not think they are so fundamental that they should prevent the basic
platform file from being added.
