If your "compiler" is really just a wrapper script around a real
compiler, set the environment variables before running CMake:

export CC=/path/to/script/cc.sh
export CXX=/path/to/script/cxx.sh
cmake ../src

Of course, any calls to the wrapper script should take the args and
pass them along to the real compiler.
