ADD_LIBRARY(target MODULE

cmake --help-command add_library
cmake version 2.5-20060930
  ADD_LIBRARY
       Add a library to the project using the specified source files.

         ADD_LIBRARY(libname [SHARED | STATIC | MODULE]
                     source1 source2 ... sourceN)

       Adds a library target.  SHARED, STATIC or MODULE keywords are used to
       set the library type.  If the keyword MODULE appears, the library
type
       is set to MH_BUNDLE on systems which use dyld.  On systems without
       dyld, MODULE is treated like SHARED.  If no keywords appear as the
       second argument, the type defaults to the current value of
       BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.  If this variable is not set, the type defaults to
       STATIC.
