maybe some temporary malfunction.
Anyway problem is simple: i've a project which consist of two modules:
program and shared lib (plugin).

When find_package(KDE4) is added (nothing else is touched), many additional 
compilation flags are being added. In example my shared lib is compiled with -
fvisibility=hidden, so it cannot be linked with my program.
I know I can make my lib visible by using proper arguments in class 
declaration, but that's not the point. The problem is, that 
find_package(KDE4) enables some (in my case) unwanted flags.

IMHO compiler flags should not be affected (expect include dirs or additional 
libraries/path passed to linker, but only with cooperation with cmake's 
include_directories and target_link_libraries). Any other behaviour is 
undesired.

it does :) I've sich problem, but also guy from forum to which link I've 
attached in original post.

In my program I simply wanna use one single kde's widget ;) So I don't need 
whole kde build flow. I'd like only detect if kde devel package is present and 
then I'd like to include and link proper files. That's all I need.
