So the problem is that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not necessarily used at install 
time ?

Don't know.
So the problem is that under UNIX we need the full path there, while under 
Windows we would need the full path at install time there, which is unknown at 
package-generation time.

And under Windows org.kde.knotify.service.cmake is installed into the bin/ 
directory ?
Is this intentional ?
