Blogging? What's that? I don't have time to read blogs -and- mailinglists and fix kde bugs, sorry :)

Yes -- and of course the cmake documentation itself (added CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to report 7146...)

Sure it would need to be set, but it would help because it's more standard, so more commonly known ;)
I already do this to PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
headCat PKG_CONFIG_PATH $DBUSDIR/lib/pkgconfig
headCat PKG_CONFIG_PATH $QTDIR/lib/pkgconfig
headCat PKG_CONFIG_PATH /d/other/inst/icecream/lib/pkgconfig
headCat PKG_CONFIG_PATH /d/other/inst/lib/pkgconfig # for qca
headCat PKG_CONFIG_PATH /d/kde/inst/kdesupport_trunk/lib/pkgconfig
:)
