The normal way to handle this would be to have a variable 
POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR in kdelibs, set via _set_fancy() (i.e. by default it 
inherits itsd location from CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, but can be set to any other 
value via the cache), store that value from kdelibs into a 
KDE4_POLICY_FILES_INSTALL_DIR, which will be the default then for anything 
using kdelibs, but which can again be changed via the cache.

When I proposed that Dario said it should be different for the policy kit 
stuff, so I'd prefer to let him comment on this.
