Looks fine, but we need to handle the case where the prefixes differ.
If your cmake is in /usr and installed by root,
and you install kdelibs as user into your home dir, then the cmake modules
go into your home dir, not into the cmake dir, right?
Then it's good - all that's needed is to be able to find them there....
so we will probably need a piece of cmake configuration in every module
which looks up the kde prefix, e.g. using kde-config.

But I would personally concentrate on cleaning up the CMakeLists.txt in 
kdelibs before expanding it to other modules, although it's good to think
about the problem of course :)
