Summary:                    try_compile ignores INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES argument
Description: 
try_compile command apparently ignores INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES argument for unknown
reason. As documentation
(http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.1/command/try_compile.html) reads:
"Some extra flags that can be included are, INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
LINK_DIRECTORIES, and LINK_LIBRARIES. COMPILE_DEFINITIONS are -Ddefinition that
will be passed to the compile line." But unfortunately parameter of
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES argument won't be transferred to CMakeLists.txt.

It also be true for other arguments mentioned in that paragraph.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Write try_compile() command with INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, e.g.:
try_compile(
	COMPILE_RESULT
	${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
	test.cpp
	INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include
	OUTPUT_VARIABLE COMPILE_LOG
)
2. Notice that INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES parameter isn't transferred neither to
temporary CMakeLists.txt in CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp (with --debug-trycompile
enabled) nor to compiler command line arguments.
