Summary:                    PythonLibs 3.2 not found due to "mu" ABI tag
Description: 
Under fedora, the python 3.2 library is called

/usr/lib64/libpython3.2mu.so

however cmake fails to find it. A simple workaround is to add the line

set(Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS 3.2mu)

However, it would be nice if cmake would recognize python 3 on linux out of the
box.

Steps to Reproduce: 
On Fedora 17, with python3 and python3-devel installed, run cmake on a project
whose CMakeLists.txt contains:

find_package(PythonLibs 3.2 REQUIRED)


Additional Information: 
ABI tags are described in this PEP:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3149/

This bug is reported upstream at various places, e.g.
