When I started out on KDE programming, I found it difficult to manipulate 
CMakeLists spanning over several directories. For example, when you `svn co` a 
single example, you might wonder why it does not compile (because the 
find_package() and include() macros from the CMakeLists in the above 
directories are missing). The examples should be completely separate, i.e. 
they should compile without any superdirectories. For the kde-training-kit 
module, such a policy could be setup easily, but in another module, one might 
fail to remember this more easily.
