soname patch

Currently the soname of the built library is simply "liborocos-bfl.so". In
order to avoid problems with ABI incompatibilities, the soname should include
the version of the library.

The attached patch changes the soname to
'liborocos-bfl.so.${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}', e.g.
'liborocos-bfl.so.0.8'.

Note that other sonames (such as 'liborocos-bfl.so.0') might be better, but
looking at the changelog, $major.$minor seems like the best solution.
