 #   Flags to add to the Fortran compiler for OpenMP support.
 # ``OPENMP_FOUND``
 #   True if openmp is detected.
+#
+# The following internal variables are set, if detected:
+#
+# ``OpenMP_C_SPEC_DATE``
+#   Specification date of OpenMP version of C compiler.
+# ``OpenMP_CXX_SPEC_DATE``
+#   Specification date of OpenMP version of CXX compiler.
+# ``OpenMP_Fortran_SPEC_DATE``
+#   Specification date of OpenMP version of Fortran compiler.
+#
+# The specification dates are formatted as integers of the form
+# ``CCYYMM`` where these represent the decimal digits of the century,
+# year, and month.
