Summary:                    setting CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER
breaks find_package
Description: 
Hello, I just built gcc-4.7 in my /opt/ directory, and I would like to cmake to
compile using those binaries. However, whenever I specify the C and CXX compiler
with -D or set() commands, it always complains about it not being able to find
anything.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Specify CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER, and try to find() something.
More specifically for me include(FindPNG) or include(FindJPEG), nothing like
this works.

Additional Information: 
I have a feeling this isn't a bug, and I've tried setting just about variable I
can think to right this, but until this is fixed, my software is much less
portable.
