Thanks.

So what can we now do in kde buildsystems to modernize them and make them 
ready for KF5?

 * Use find_package instead of macro_optional_find_package?
 * Port from macro_feature_log to set_package_properties?
 * Port to CMAKE_AUTOMOC? Would probably require a way to disable automoc4.
 * Use set(CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES "") as kde4_add_library does.
 * Port to GenerateExportHeader?

I'm thinking of doing these things for kdepimlibs master.

Thanks,

Steve.
