According to the Handbook, we must install KDE executable files into
${PREFIX}/bin, data files under ${PREFIX}/share/kde/sound, etc.. But
if we consider KDE is differrent beast, we must create its own hierarchy
${PREFIX}/kde and install datas into ${PREFIX}/kde/share/sounds etc..

I vote for using /usr/X11R6 as PREFIX (it was some discission some time
ago about /usr/X11R6 vs /usr/local). KDE is X11 thing, like GNOME, and like
GNOME, must be installed in /usr/X11R6
But we also can consider "all things move to /usr/local" approach, and
place _all_ apps into /usr/local (except those, which use X11 hierarchy),
so leaving /usr/X11R6 only for X11 system stuff.
Sincerely yours, Andy.
