Description

Currently the Cmake build process detects the available Python version and builds according to a default if more than one version is available (at present 2.7 willl be built even if 3.x is available).

Add the ability to detect and build for each of the major versions of Python in the same build. I suggest that if both Python 2.x and 3.x is available, then by default, both are built. However, a switch should be available to disable one or the other version if desired.
