Ok, that part can go then.

Ok, so the original problem still exists: Installing certain files when
building a test (or installing them with make install only if the test
was built before), without having to specify -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS. Any
ideas how/if this is possible with cmake

I think there may be quite some other things that are of the same form
(a rc or desktop file that needs to be installed for the test to work).
