[Scons-dev] Issue 2869 - Versioned shared libraries

[Managan, Rob]

At the moment this is sets link flags for posix, cygwin, and darwin. Names and symlinks are set for posix and darwin.

My testing at the moment is limited to generating a shared library. I suppose I could add a test that links against it if that is sufficient.

Given what needs to be done for Windows we could add that. I suppose the file naming conventions are the same for cygwin as for posix platforms??

        If I can find time, I'll test it soon--I have Linux and OS X available. I do not have a current version of MSVC to test on Windows, though.

I can also run tests on Windows, Linux (RH and Ubuntu) and OSX (10.7, 10.8).  Just point me to a repo with the test cases.
