Well, it's also slightly surprising, as I'm used to have modules/plugins come 
with no prefix... Maybe it could be that the default value of PREFIX for the 
MODULE type is "wrong"?

I'm in fact not sure if that's a KDE custom or something you find pervasively. 
What's your opinion on that point? (I'd like to gather some other view before 
sending to the cmake-developers list.
