Summary:                    install command does not install symbolic link for a
versioned shared library
Description: 
Hi

This command
install(
    TARGETS "${target_name}" EXPORT "${target_name}Targets"
    LIBRARY DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}
    ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}
    RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
    INCLUDES DESTINATION include
    )

install the lib shared library with a symbolic link on Linux while it does not
install a symbolic link on the archive on Cygwin, neither he does install a
symbolic link on the runtime destination

Steps to Reproduce: 
1/ Build a shared library on Cygwin
2/ install it
3/ No symbolic link are defined for the archive library, nor for the shared
library.
