That's a very good idea.
May be adding a DEPENDS option to SET would be nice.
SET(MYLIB "${MY_PATH_TO_TOOL}/whatever/lib" DEPENDS MY_PATH_TO_TOOL)
then MYLIB is explicitely linked with MY_PATH_TO_TOOL such
that if MY_PATH_TO_TOOL is reset or change CMake knows MYLIB
should be deleted from cache or unset.
Note that somehow "direct" dependency like that may even be
added by CMake automatically since "${MY_PATH_TO_TOOL}/whatever/lib"
does contains a ${MY_PATH_TO_TOOL} expansion.
