Subject: [PATCH] ENH: Do not auto-create out-dated cache variables

  - We used to always put LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
    in the cache if the project did not.
  - In CMake 2.6 these variables should no longer be used.
  - Now add them only if CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is also cached.
  - This happens only when CMP0001 is set to OLD or WARN or if
    the user or project sets it.  In any case compatibility is needed.
  - Reported by Miguel A. Figueroa-Villanueva and Philip Lowman.
