[Cmake] Default output name for DLL

[Bill Hoffman]

I am not sure what is going on here...
We use ADD_LIBRARY(something SHARED something_sources) in many places including
the test case for cmake, and it has never generated a .exe file.  (the tests would
fail.)

Perhaps you could run with an older version of cmake and the newer one, and
do a diff on the dsp files.
