Description
We should not let CMake silently fail if CMake can't find OpenMP. Currently, the CMake flags for OpenMP can be set, but if it's not available on the system (a rarity but for Macs by default it seems!) the configuration proceeds anyway. I found it strange that this fancy Apple silicon was lagging, and of course observing the output header, no thread count info was provided!
This is an unexpected failure with a one-line fix. If a user wishes to not use OpenMP, it should be reflected in the CMake configuration flags.
