Because a MODULE is normally a "plugin" library, and these 
traditionally have the extension .so on Mac. If you create a SHARED 
library, you will get a .dylib. If you don't agree with that choice, 
you can override it with either the SUFFIX target property or by 
setting the CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX or the 
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_SUFFIX variable.
