-install(TARGETS kdnssd  DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR} )
+install(TARGETS kdnssd
+             RUNTIME DESTINATION ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR}
+             LIBRARY DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
+             ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
+)

This patch has the effect that the dlls under windows go into the bin/ 
directory and the .so under UNIX still go into lib/.
So the patch is correct so far.

But nevertheless I'm not sure we want this and I don't feel like deciding 
this.

Right now the dlls go into lib/ and you (the windows developers) obviously do 
something to make it work (set the PATH ?).

The problem I see is that the average (Linux) KDE developer might forget the 
long form with RUNTIME, LIBRARY and ARCHIVE and just use DESTINATION and then 
his project will not work on Windows. Right now kdelibs is installed so that 
it will work if just DESTINATION is used, so the UNIX developer doesn't have 
to care about this problem for Windows.

I'd like to get some more opinions on this, please don't commit yet.
kdelibs/ isn't enough then, it would have to be all libs KDE svn I'd say.
