Setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should ensure that CMake knows to search
non-standard installation prefixes (such as your local KDE install).

Note that if KDEDIRS is currently empty, you will need to include
`kde4-config --prefix` in it as well, otherwise things will break.
You may also find it necessary to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH as well
appropriately, to ensure libraries and executables are found properly.
