Does the cache show BOOL as the type of HDF5_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_SUPPORT or 
is it specifically just cmake-gui showing the wrong type?

If it is BOOL in your CMakeCache.txt then it has to be specifically set 
as such from within your project somewhere.

Could there be another option() (or set() with type BOOL) or could you 
accidentally be running cmake on the original sources rather than the 
modified sources perhaps?

Could cmake-gui be using a build directory other than the one you are 
currently observing?
