You're misunderstanding. Its not possible for any given process (or
program) to modify the environment of its parent process. So if you run
an application "foo" from a shell, any modifications to environment
variables done inside that application are not visible once the
application has exited. This is not a limitation of CMake, its a
limitation of the operating system (and I don't think there's one
without this limitation). 

Even with just a shell and shell scripts you cannot change the
environment of the parent shell. All you can do is execute a shell
script in the current shell instead of inside a sub-shell (the default
if you just execute the script).
