Well, it is dependent on users configuring their system to compile with
ccache.  Normally, this happen automatically when you use the symlink trick
I wrote about earlier.

In this case, however, your makefile is explicitely requesting a specific
compiler:

If you want to use ccache, you need to either:

1- change this to point to g++ without the path, and rely on the symlinks to
  pick up /usr/bin/ccache instead of /usr/bin/g++

2- change this variable to invoke g++ through ccache:

  CGAL_CXX = /usr/bin/ccache /usr/bin/g++

Both of these methods are described in more details in the ccache manpage.
