this is great news!

Minor nitpick: I believe that should probably be
   IF(Q_WS_MAC)
instead of
   IF(APPLE)
in the cmake files. If I understand correctly, the latter will also be 
triggered for X11-flavored builds. And, IIRC, for those, the install locations 
are more Linux-like (at least they were, when I tried with fink, a long time 
ago).

Could the variable RKWARD_FRONTEND_LOCATION also be used as DESTINATION for 
rkward.rbackend? That would save one platform switch in 
rbackend/CMakeLists.txt.

Is that really X11, not Quartz? Interesting.

Was missing, or is missing?

Cool! I wonder how large that will get...
