this function adds the current contents of the named variable to the
cache. this comprises populating base_vars and appending an assignment
to .qmake.cache. if no cache file exists yet, it will be created in the
current output directory (and inherited by subdirs projects). if called
without a variable name, only create the cache file if missing.
