The problem here is that the user could also do:
cd build
cmake-gui
# set foo and maybe other variables inside cmake-gui
make

In this case knowing the command line doesn't help you.
That's why I suggest either give a list of known and useful variables to the 
other cmake, or try to do something directly with the cache.
