Summary:                    Sets SONAME for modules
Description: 
cmake 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.
