KdePimlibs overriding CMAKE_MODULE_PATH

In KdepimLibsConfig.cmake.in, which is used to generate a file included when 
you do find_package(KdepibLibs), the KdepimLibs cmake module directory 
(typically the same as the KDE cmake module directory) is added to the front 
of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

If an application/module/whatever sets its CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to something 
local before calling find_package(KdepibLibs), as kdenetwork does for example, 
the local cmake module directory is overridden by the installed KDE one.  This 
leads to things like the wrong FindLibKNotificationItem-1.cmake file being 
included by KGet, and the kdenetwork build failing.

My question: is the correct solution to change KdepimLibsConfig.cmake.in to 
append (rather than prepend) its directory to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH?  Is this 
likely to cause any other problems?  And should this be documented somewhere?
