Another thing that FindPythonLibs.cmake does not do is set the suffix
to ".pyd" on Windows.  It didn't cross my mind when I was fixing the
file, but since the ".dll" module suffix is officially deprecated by
python, it might be good to have that in FindPythonLibs.cmake instead
of scattered around various CMake files in various projects.
