Heh, no, but I've started bumping into this issue when I started building dependencies for KDevelop ... and I also thought I'd find the most compiler-savvy people on here ;)

Not really trivial without patching cmake files, is it? Not made any easier also by the fact that CMake doesn't support incremental arguments.
And actually, it's mostly the other way round that I have the issue.
Besides, does all KF5 software expect to be told the include path (e.g. "-I${prefix}/include/kdevplatform"), without ever doing something like "#include <kdevplatform/X/Y.h>" ?

Great, yet another ML to subscribe to...

I agree. The Frameworks do; I'm not really sure why it hasn't been encouraged to put all headers under include/KF5 or include/KDE5 and include/KDE5/KF5 ...
