+VERSION
+-------
+
+What version number is this target.
+
+For shared libraries VERSION and SOVERSION can be used to specify the
+build version and API version respectively. When building or
+installing appropriate symlinks are created if the platform supports
+symlinks and the linker supports so-names. If only one of both is
+specified the missing is assumed to have the same version number. For
+executables VERSION can be used to specify the build version. When
+building or installing appropriate symlinks are created if the
+platform supports symlinks. For shared libraries and executables on
+Windows the VERSION attribute is parsed to extract a "major.minor"
+version number. These numbers are used as the image version of the
+binary.
