I think we shouldn't install them at all. we don't install anything from 
admin, why should cmake be any different? 

What does installing them gain us, other than not having to use an 
svn:external anymore?

Why do we even have to have the cmake modules in kdelibs? Why can't they be in 
a kde-buildsystem package?

My 2 cents.
