+# FindHwloc
+# ----------
+#
+# Try to find Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) libraries.
+# http://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc
+#
+# You may declare HWLOC_ROOT environment variable to tell where
+# your hwloc library is installed. 
+#
+# Once done this will define::
+#
+#   Hwloc_FOUND            - True if hwloc was found
+#   Hwloc_INCLUDE_DIRS     - include directories for hwloc
+#   Hwloc_LIBRARIES        - link against these libraries to use hwloc
+#   Hwloc_VERSION          - version
+#   Hwloc_CFLAGS           - include directories as compiler flags
+#   Hwloc_LDLFAGS          - link paths and libs as compiler flags
+#
