This is an issue which is not yet solved perfectly in cmake, the developers are currently disussing a good solution. For kdepimlib: There should also be a find_package(KDE4) Once this succeeded, the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH (where cmake searches for modules) should be set so that $top/share/apps/cmake/modules/ is part of it. Then KDEPIMlib should be found automatically. I'll have a closer look at it in the next days.
