    Advertise user-configurable cmake-time config options.
    
    Various cmake variables that I was informally expecting users to set
    on the cmake command line (e.g. cmake -DSTRICT=ON, or cmake
    -DPUZZLES_GTK_VERSION=2) are now labelled explicitly with the CACHE
    tag, and provided with a documentation string indicating what they're
    for.
    
    One effect of this is that GUI-like interfaces to your cmake build
    directory, such as ccmake or cmake-gui, will show those variables
    explicitly to give you a hint that you might want to change them.
    
    Another is that when you do change them, cmake will recognise that it
    needs to redo the rest of its configuration. Previously, if you sat in
    an existing cmake build directory and did 'cmake -DSTRICT=ON .'
    followed by 'cmake -DSTRICT=OFF .', nothing would happen, even though
    you obviously meant it to.
