+
+  LUAJIT_FOUND, if false, do not try to link to Lua
+  LUAJIT_LIBRARIES
+  LUAJIT_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find lua.h
+  LUAJIT_VERSION_STRING, the version of Lua found (since CMake 2.8.8)
+
+
+
+Note that the expected include convention is
+
+::
+
+  #include "lua.h"
+
+and not
+
+::
+
+  #include <lua/lua.h>
+
+This is because, the lua location is not standardized and may exist in
+locations other than lua/
