The FindStrigi.cmake in kdelibs requires 2.6.0 now, or better 2.6.2, since 
otherwise there are problems with finding the config files in lib64/ 
directories.

As far as I see, currently different versions must be installed in different 
prefixes, i.e. I think I didn't see any version numbers in the install() 
commands.
Different versions in different prefixes is no (special) problem, 
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH (or STRIGI_HOME) must be set so that the desired version is 
found.

Currently it just searches for the Config files in the order of the cmake 
search directories. The one found first will be used.
How should it work ?
