Summary0014273: PythonLibs sets PYTHON_ variables instead of PythonLibs_
DescriptionThe online documentation says a variable <name>_ is set when find_package is called.
PythonLibs violates that rule by setting PYTHON_. Even a google search could not earth a documentation for this behavior.

For consistency and not forcing people to waste time and eventually having to look at the sourcecode, it should set PythonLibs_* as advertised.

What documentation says <name>_ will be set for anything besides <name>_FOUND?

The documentation for FindPythonLibs clearly lists PYTHON_ results:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.11/cmake.html#module:FindPythonLibs [^]

It is one of the oldest modules and pre-dates some of the modern conventions.
