[CMake] 'uncaching' a path found by the find_XXX functions

Dear users,
As a new user CMake I've come across some things I don't fully
understand yet. Here is such a thing:
When a library consists of multiple separate lib-files, from the
archives it seems that the way to go when writing a 'Find'-module for
such a library, say library LIB, is first find each lib-file separately:
find_library(${LIB1_PATH} ${LIB1} ${SEARCH_PATH})
find_library(${LIB2_PATH} ${LIB2} ${SEARCH_PATH})
etc.
Then, when each of these were successfully found, do:
set(LIB_LIBRARIES ${LIB1_PATH} ${LIB2_PATH} [other library files] )
But now I want LIB_LIBRARIES do become cached - that can be done with
the CACHE option. But I also want the ${LIBX_PATH} variables NOT to be
cached. How do I accomplish that? And is this indeed the right way to go
with CMake?
Yours sincerely,
Jakob van Bethlehem
