OK, I thought I'd checked that, but I misread the cmake file.  Nonetheless, I 
don't think requiring KdepimLibs should prepend the KDE installation directory 
to CMAKE_MODULE_PATH - what if the application wishes to override a KDE-
installed CMake module with one of its own?  It would have to set 
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH _after_ including KdepimLibs.  And, if it can't assume that 
CMAKE_MODULE_PATH won't be messed with like this when it tries to find 
packages, it would have to prepend its own local cmake module path after 
searching for _each_ package.
