kde_datadir is just convience for $(prefix)/share/apps - if the user compiled
for another prefix, then he has to set KDEDIRS - just as if would have to set
PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If quanta wants to make this easier for the user, then you can add a call
to KGlobal::dirs()->addPrefix(PREFIX) (if you put a AC_DEFINE(PREFIX, $prefix)
in your configure.in.in)
