Sorry, I should have chosen my words more carefully. I do understand the cause of the breakage. I recently posted a question to the mailing list how to work around broken find modules. Maybe Ryan Pavlik's answer http://www.mail-archive.com/cm...@cmake.org/msg32351.html could be helpful for KDE as well. It doesn't solve the current breakage, though, because it needs modifications to the KDE CMake modules.
