Thank you for the patch. It improves the situation but does not fix it
completely. Nevertheless I will push it to -next as soon as unit test
are green locally.

The case where it does not work is the following:

The myshared library has "@rpath" in the install dir attribute. I guess
the MACOSX_RPATH target property interferes here. I will have a look at
this but certainly the second part of the fix will miss the CMake 3.5
freeze.

Thanks,
Gregor
