Connector/C++ Issues

[Donald Dade]

I ran into two issues with Connector/C++:

1) cmake didn't detect that I didn't have the _r mysql client libraries installed, and so the build failed later on. I hacked it to build, but I'm not really comfortable with having done that.
2) I noticed that the soname in one of the shared libraries was libmysqlcppconn.so, when UNIX convention calls for libmysqlcppconn.so.<major_version>. Again, I hacked things, but why not follow UNIX convention?
3) If automake/autoconf were used instead of cmake, both #1 and #2 could be handled, as well as having an "install" make target so that I don't have to copy the SOs and make my own softlinks.

An aside comment: When I didn't see a GNU ./configure script after unpacking the tarball, I almost just deleted the distribution and kept searching for another solution... my perception is that if something is well supported under UNIX, then there's a ./configure script. But then, that's just perception.

Thanks,
