Hmm I don't think the binary installer bundles the required headers, 
libs, etc. to build pyside-bindings. Last time I played with it I build 
pyside from source using the setup scripts from here:
   https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup

You need either git or you can copy the required modules into the 
sources/ directory.

Then `python setup.py build` should build everything.
Afterwards there should be a directory there called install or 
pyside_install or something like that where you will find the required 
cmake files.

Oh, and I remember I needed to change some backslashes to forward 
slashes in at least one of those .cmake files because otherwise I got 
syntax errors from cmake. It's been quite a while so it may be fixed 
already, or maybe it was just a quirk of my cmake version.

PS: sorry for not replying to the list, hit the wrong button :/
