Summary:                    FPHSA should work differently for EXACT version with
patch versions
Description: 
There is currently no way to select e.g. Python 2.6.*. You can say

find_package(PythonLibs 2) and will get the most recent one of 2.*, e.g. 2.7 or
2.5.3
find_package(PythonLibs 2.6) and get the most recent one of 2.* that is at least
2.6, e.g. 2.7 or 2.6.3
find_package(PythonLibs 2.6 EXACT) and will get only 2.6

Giving an expression that matches 2.6.*, but not 2.7.* is currently not
possible.

I would say that "2.6.0 EXACT" would match 2.6 or 2.6.0, but "2.6 EXACT" would
match 2.6.*. Or one must be allowed to say "2.6.* EXACT".
