Summary:                    FindSDL and FindSDL_image modules cannot find the
SDL-distributed VC++ development libraries
Description: 
The Visual C++ development packages for SDL and SDL_image include both x86 and
x64 libraries with the same name, but in different paths.

The current FindSDL and FindSDL_image Modules do not handle this correctly, and
fail to locate them.



Steps to Reproduce: 
Grab the SDL-distributed development packages for Visual Studio:
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.15-VC.zip (from
http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php)
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL_image-devel-1.2.12-VC.zip
(from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/)

Set SDLDIR and SDLIMAGEDIR to the top level of those extracted zips.

Build a CMake project that uses
FIND_PACKAGE( SDL REQUIRED )
FIND_PACKAGE( SDL_image REQUIRED )

The CMake invocation will fail

Additional Information: 
The fix I have locally (against 2.8.11 rc1) is basically the same for both
modules:

I add:

if(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES Win64)
	set(MSVC_DEVEL_PATHSUFFIX lib/x64)
else()
	set(MSVC_DEVEL_PATHSUFFIX lib/x86)
endif()


before the find_library blocks, and then in the find_library invocations, change
PATH_SUFFIXES to:

PATH_SUFFIXES lib ${MSVC_DEVEL_PATHSUFFIX}

That's been working fine for me here.
