Thanks. I'll try it tonight when I get home.

But the fact that you have to edit files just to tell cmake where your KDE 
installation is, concerns me. There are various pointers to the location of KDE in the 
environmental variables - PATH contains KDE's bin/ directory, KDEDIR etc (which I know 
is to become obsolete). Editing a file is far from obvious or user friendly - 
autotools handles such things better. I hope that the actual release version of cmake 
will do this without manual intervention.
