Problem using Vc with CMake 3.0 and kf5

Sorry for the extensive cross-posting in advance, please when replying, do 
a reply-all.

Just so everyone is on the same page: Vc is a template library that makes 
it easy to build vectorized code using a single source file. Krita uses Vc 
to optimize blending colors, creating masks and much more. Krita uses the 
most recent Vc release, 0.7.4: 
http://code.compeng.uni-frankfurt.de/news/27

We're currently porting Krita to Qt5 and KF5 and the way KF5 and Vc handle 
include directories is a big roadblock for us: 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/123179/ .

In a nutshell: Vc builds many different object files from single cpp file. 
It does this by creating a custom command for each target vectorization 
extension. To do that, it needs to access the contents of 
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, like this (in VcMacros.cmake: 
http://code.compeng.uni-frankfurt.de/projects/vc/repository/entry/cmake/VcMacros.cmake?rev=0.7)

    get_directory_property(_inc INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES)
    foreach(_i ${_inc})
       list(APPEND _flags "-I${_i}")
    endforeach()

In the end the command is generated like this:

          add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${_out}
             COMMAND ${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER} ${_flags} ${_extra_flags}
             -DVC_IMPL=${_impl}
             ${_outfile_flag}${_out} 
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_vc_compile_src}
             MAIN_DEPENDENCY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_vc_compile_src}
             IMPLICIT_DEPENDS CXX 
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/${_vc_compile_src}
             COMMENT "Building CXX object ${_out}"
             WORKING_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}"
             VERBATIM
             )
KF5 uses cmake generator expressions to derive the include 
directories from the target_link_libraries lines. This means that when we 
try to build our per-extensions object files we get this:

On other words, INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is empty, there's no Qt5, no Kf5 to be 
found.

If we manually set include directories like this:

if (HAVE_VC)
     message(".>>>>>>>>>>>>" ${KDE4_INCLUDES})
     include_directories(${KDE4_INCLUDES} ${Qt5Core_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt5Gui_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt5Xml_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${PIGMENT_INCLUDES}  ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
endif()

We end up with the entire include line for the contents of KDE4_INCLUDES 
($<TARGET_PROPERTY:KF5::KDELibs4Support,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>) 
expanded to a string with quotes around it:

And that's where I'm totally stuck. It seems the cmake 3.0/kf5/e-c-m (I 
don't know where this system came from) is incompatible with a key libary 
that I have to use. We can't drop using Vc, we cannot move to a newer 
release of Vc and I can't see a way to replicate the functionality of 
vc_compile_for_all_implementations in our own cmake code either, so please 
help!
