This "hides" it (which I could live with), but when I enable the feature 
that selectively calls this code, FIND_PROGRAM doesn't run again and 
"myvar" is junk.  When you are in ccmake, you can press "d" to delete an 
entry.  Running configure will get associated code that sets the 
variable to run again.

So, can I _delete_ a variable or not?

Thanks,
James
