Thanks!
I think it would be a good idea to put a README next to the CMake module which tells where it is officially maintained, so I can steal it (or the differences) from there again when updating to e.g. Python 3.5.

Did you modify FindPython.cmake? Or can we just copy it from the source again for future versions?
