I think so too, but we needed to do this because of autotools. If
you'd go through autotools config files and fix the hardcoded paths
there and send a patch to bugzilla you'd help a lot.
Besides we wont force anything when the port to cmake is finished.

Well, those are mainly for building binaries that will be provided
through kdemod3 repo. We decided to build them with everything. We
provide those PKGBUILDs for those who want to cusiomize. Our
dependencies are based on what is availble for arch, both in binary
repo and in aur.

Send patch to bugzilla, when git move will be it will be applied to
the git tree.

--sysconfdir (for what I understood) is to specify where is your /etc
dir in case you have it somewhere else. I remember that there was
project kde4win, maybe it was for it?
