Which is what it is _setting_.

This is correct, it is _looking_ for the singular form, and then putting it in 
the plural one, like basically all modules do. This has the reason that 
sometimes you need multiple include dirs, but you can't properly store that in 
one cache variable (you need to know which one was actually not found on next 
run).
