KDE4_LIB_INSTALL_DIR is an absolute path and comes from the file 
KDELibsDependencies.cmake, which is installed by kdelibs.

But, if *not* using KDEDIR, what's the recommended way for detecting the 
KDE4-version of kde-config ?

Let's say I want to install a KDE application, but not into the KDE4 install 
dir (e.g. /opt/kde4), but into /usr/local. Then I would set 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr/local (which is the default).

Then it would be required that the KDE4 binary dir is in the PATH, and that it 
is in the PATH before the KDE3 version of kde-config. 
With KDEDIR I could just set KDEDIR=/opt/kde4 and 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local, with having /opt/kde3 in the PATH but 
not /opt/kde4.
How could this work without KDEDIR ?

Bye
