--------------------------------------

Sorry I've not had time to devote to this yet, I've had a very busy couple of 
months.

> Incorrect symbolic links created for Linux static library and MacOS static 
> and shared libraries

> We build Xerces-C++ for both the Linux and MacOS platforms, with both static 
> and shared libraries.  There are arguably some dubiously named symbolic links 
> created by src/CMakeLists.txt.  The symlinks are always named 
> 'libxerces-c.so' regardless or library type, or use of the .dylib extension 
> on MacOS.

> named libxerces-c.dylib{color}|
> Curiously, the Microsoft _vcpkg_ folks just recently ran into the Linux 
> static library portion of this issue and elected to not create the symlink in 
> that case.  See [[xerces-c] produces strange files in 
> installed/x64-linux/lib|[https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/7490]].
