Great, thanks for volunteering.

Do you have some initial patches?

A problem with the current separate interp and libs modules is that
projects may not always get matching versions found.  This change:

 FindPythonLibs: Find consistent Python interp, headers, libs
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=3816cd2d

was made recently to try to address that.  However, I think a better
approach moving forward is to have a single FindPython module that
finds everything and can honor the VERSION arguments consistently.
Are you interested in trying to write such a module?

Thanks,
