+1.
This actually makes more sense to me.

Alex: remember our discussion on using KDECMakeSettings in "non-kde" 
applications? If such an app doesn't use anything from KF5 (i.e. no 
framework), it is very confusing to write 
   find_package(KF5 REQUIRED CMake).
Instead, include(KDECMakeSettings) makes it clear that we're only using a
.cmake file (from ECM, the "kde cmake stuff") that defines some settings.

Same thing for include(KDEInstallDirs), very consistent with the alternative,
include(GNUInstallDirs).

These 3 things are quite separate from KF5 components (frameworks) IMHO.
