It is certainly not there just for the GUI.  Every try-compile, 
find_library, find_program result is stored there as well.  If you did 
this each time, it would be not only slow to re-run a build, but it 
might come up with different answers each time.   If it went it would 
complicate your life even more.   In what way do you think it is causing 
you trouble?

Also, CMake needs to be able to auto-rerun when its input changes and 
this is how the command line -D options are saved along with all the 
other system introspection results.
