[Cmake] some mac osx questions...

[William A. Hoffman]

Having a lib on the mac without lib is wrong.  There are no
other libraries like that on the mac.  However, the mac does
have shared modules and shared libraries.   A shared module
can be loaded into a process and a shared library can be linked.
The shared module can not be linked into a project, and does not
have the lib prefix.   CMake can create both.  The ADD_LIBRARY
command can specify SHARED or MODULE.    CMake has not direct
support for framework creation, but it handles linking to them
no problem.   You just specify the library name as -framework foo.
If you look in the Modules directory of CMake and grep for framework
you can see some examples.
