Mostly true, but KDE install macros sometimes install into KDE specific 
subdirectories of the prefix, e.g. share/apps/$appname instead of 
the "standalone" share/$appname

So in the case of plugins it might not be possible yet for the user to specify 
a different path for Qt plugins and one for KDE plugins, if the developer 
uses the same CMAKE variable for both kind of plugins.
