Note that having a kdesupport cmake module for this won't really help as
you don't want these modules installed in 99% of the cases. Installing
such a module comes at a cost, which is keeping source compat for it for
the lifetime of KDE as other projects outside of KDE svn/git might be
using it. 

So if there's a module with cmake module files you need to pull it into
each git repo (and source package) in some way (manually or by using git
submodules).
