Yes. This is nice for the cmake-code-writer, but not for the cmake user, who doesn't know find_library is involved in the first place.
If someone tells that user "just set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH", he's going to do cmake --help-variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, like I did :)
What's cmake --help-variable good for, if it doesn't have all useful variables? Well, ==> http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7146 :)

KDE developers, always complaining, I know :)
But at least phonon compiles now so I'm happy :)
