Thats no problem, FindKDE4.cmake in cmake's Modules directory expands
that variable once it has found out where KDE is installed. The latter
is what is failing in your case. The correct fix to your problem is
passing CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to cmake when calling it on your builddir.
List the prefix under which kdelibs was installed in that variable.
