  Compiz fails to build ~ looks like finding python ver. doesn't work
  properly (Archlinux)

Bug description:
  I can't build compiz on Arch, right now. it looks like you guys have
  changed around how compiz uses python. i used to just specify in
  CMakelists.txt to use python2 instead of python (3) ... anyway, it
  currently doesn't pick up on python, and then fails a few lines later.

  (relevant) output;

  -- checking for modules 'x11;libxml-2.0;libxslt;protobuf'
  --   found x11, version 1.4.99.901
  --   found libxml-2.0, version 2.7.8
  --   found libxslt, version 1.1.26
  --   found protobuf, version 2.4.1

    File "<string>", line 1
      import sys; print str (sys.version_info.major) + '.' + str (sys.version_info.minor)
                          ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  CMake Error at compizconfig/ccsm/CMakeLists.txt:24 (string):

  -- checking for module 'glib-2.0'
  --   found glib-2.0, version 2.32.3
  -- checking for module 'gconf-2.0'

  So being as line 20 fails due to a syntax error, when it is supposed
  to pass on those arguments to be used in line 24, it obviously fails
  because nothing is passed.

  I think this build error actually cropped up a day or two ago, but i
  had thought it was a Clang-bug, as i was going to see if compiz would
  compile with it (ie: i saw Sam's branch - ' the whole thing goes
  clang). when it failed i didn't investigate, and hadn't tried to
  compile compiz until today after seeing the latest revisions and
  decided to upgrade (using GCC, as i normally would).
