Respect BUILD_SHARED_LIBS when defined

Respect the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS variable when defined, and build either shared or static libs, which is CMake's default behavior (See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.html).

If the variable is not defined, the current behavior remains unchanged and both variants are built where the platform supports it. This way, it remains possible to build both in one shot, which seems convenient for distro builds and useful to promote some consistency between them.

Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2019-05-18 18:48:54 UTC 
Tagging a bunch of bugs with "target-2.0.10" so we have a clear list of things to address before a 2.0.10 release.

Please note that "addressing" one of these bugs might mean deciding to defer on it until after 2.0.10, or resolving it as WONTFIX, etc. This is just here to tell us we should look at it carefully, and soon.

If you have new information or feedback on this issue, this is a good time to add it to the conversation, as we're likely to be paying attention to this specific report in the next few days/weeks.

Thanks!
