Please test that we really don't end up with standard paths like /usr/lib or 
/usr/lib64 in the rpath of installed executables when doing that! Last time 
we tried not using CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH, that's exactly what happened.

(Also note that %cmake_kde4 will probably always need the CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH 
unless we can get CMake to understand that %{_libdir}/kde4/devel contains 
only symlinks. But that's a separate issue from the above.)
