Switching a build setting off an environment variable is very dangerous.
The generated build system contains rules to automatically re-run
cmake during a build if the build system is out of date. If the
environment during the build is different than when CMake was first run
you will get a different configuration. You probably want to use the
OPTION command to create a build switch in the cache.
If you must use an environment variable you can get values with
"$ENV{VARNAME}".
