Although I certainly don't want to tell kdesrc-build how they have to use the 
tool, it has always been my intention that they at least will read through 
CMake output in the event of CMake failures. To that end kdesrc-build symlinks 
the cmake log to error.log and informs the user of where to find the file so 
they can review it.

In addition kdesrc-build will continue to build everything else possible in a 
given run, so please don't be too concerned with causing CMake to fail if 
there's an actual error.

I propose assuming that one or both of kgoldrunner and granatier are built by 
default, and to fail CMake if libsndfile/OpenAL are not found. In the error 
message that would appear, instead of saying simply to install OpenAL, also 
give the alternative of adding -DBUILD_kgoldrunner=OFF and -
DBUILD_granatier=OFF. That's about the best option I can see at this point.
