Hi Eero,

my first reflex was to say, that I don't believe this to be necessary.
As you already said, these variables aren't documented and thus I'd
argue that you don't have to consider them for maintaining backwards
compatibility during backports. I personally see this as a bug on our
part and as a coincidence that our setup worked pre-patch.

However, I'm not sure WHY those two variables where actually used by us
or where they originated from. Going as far back as cmake 3.0, these
variables where never documented, however doing a quick search for
those reveals that they actually are used in other (older?) projects.
So I'm not quite sure how many other users might be affected by this.
Maybe we actually SHOULD keep supporting them for the LTS branch, just
in case?
