We require cmake 2.6.0 now, and this supports the environment variable 
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, which will be used when searching for libs, header and 
executables.
So instead of having to set CMAKE_(INCLUDE|LIBRARY)_PATH individually, it is 
enough if you only set 
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$KDEDIR

lib/, include/ and bin/ will be appended appropriately.
