None of the postfixes is chosen because the build type is not set to
Debug, Release, MinSizeRel, or RelWithDebInfo.  If you set the
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Debug you will get the DEBUG_POSTFIX.

Not currently.  This looks like the way cygwin does library versions, so
we could make this the implementation of the VERSION or SOVERSION
property on Cygwin (where those properties are currently ignored).
Please create a feature request for this in the bug tracker.
