Yes, but this has a different purpose. It's idea is to provide places to 
look at based on other things already found, things that would work 
independent of the machine.

The plan here is to provide information about the local directories, and 
those should not end up in CMakeLists.txt as they are totally 
meaningless when switching to a different machine.

One could use an initial cache file for this if this has to be done over 
and over again on the same machine, or add a shell alias (or a shell 
alias to the cache file, which is more flexible).
