     31 # By default, there is no easy way in CMake to set the value of a cache
     32 # variable without reinitialising it, which involves resetting its
     33 # associated help string.  This is particularly annoying for CMake options
     34 # where they need to programmatically updated.
     35 #
     36 # This function automates this process by getting the current help string
     37 # for the cache variable to update, then reinitialising it with the new
     38 # value, but with the original help string.
