Technically it's the same as when e.g. building plasma or khtml separately, so 
I'd like to handle it the same way.
I.e. after find_package(KDE4) no additional
find_package(khtml) should be necessary, but instead either
if(KDE4_KHTML_FOUND) or if (KDE4_KHTML_LIBS) should be checked.
Since also experimental can be built as part of kdelibs, I would prefer doing 
it the same way.
