Thank you for your input, I had come to the same value. I think this 
should be the default behaviour for cmake, and this should be pushed to 
cmake.bbclass.

It still does not work for the FindQt4 module, but this is due to the 
fact that the PATHS qmake searches for libraries and headers in are 
define at COMPILE time and cannot be changed with this value.
