I'll give the shipit, because I'm aware of this being done in similar cases.

Please make sure everything builds when pushing this.

However, on source based distributions, such as Gentoo, to have both the KDE4 and KF5 versions simultaneously installed requires that the development files are also co-installable.  As mentioned on this Gentoo bug[1], the header files are trivially dealt with, and the library simlink will probably be a downstream specific solution (as CMake doesn't require it for compiling).  However, the CMake configuration files are another matter.  This is take one of trying to fix this issue.  If a different naming scheme, or if some different CMake trickery is desired I'll see about changing things to that, otherwise I think this is the simple and easy solution.
