[kde-linux] Installing KDE-4.5

  There appears to a problem with the build system.  You must set the 
environment variable KDEDIRS to the location where you are installing 
(e.g. /opt/KDE-4.5) or it will not build correctly.  When looking for: 
"include" and "lib" directories for KDE, CMake ignores 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (which should be the first base directory to search 
in) and the search paths: CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH & CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and 
uses KDEDIRS (as a based directory) first.  Since KDEDIRS is a run time 
environment variable -- not a build variable, this would appear to be a 
serious bug, but setting it is a workaround.
