Several KDE -devel packages do require cmake and even g++ though. The idea 
is that you will normally need CMake and g++ to build anything against that 
-devel package.

That said, for CMake, this is not currently part of the AutoRequires, that 
only drags in cmake-filesystem for directory ownership (and in fact, I guess 
directory ownership is a reason for the pkg-config AutoRequires too), any 
Requires: cmake is manually added.
