Would checking if(KDE4WORKSPACE_PROCESSUIL

Right now this is in KDE4WorkspaceConfig.cmake:
_kde4workspace_set_lib_vars( PROCESSUI          processui)

Would 
if(TARGET processui)
   _kde4workspace_set_lib_vars( PROCESSUI          processui)
endif(TARGET processui)


be better ?
Then you could check 
if (KDE4WORKSPACE_PROCESSUIL_LIBRARY)
 ...
endif(KDE4WORKSPACE_PROCESSUIL_LIBRARY)
