Few notes about the patch:
- At least you should use ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR} rather ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin.
- It is generally a bad practice to search for a file on an installation path.
- Starting cmake 2.8.4 you may refer a ${_target} in a commands and
cmake should replace it with the appropriate filepath so you may get
rid of the if.

Do you have tdelfeditor installed on the building system? Note that It
is getting build only if you build tdelibs WITH_ELFICON
