I see this was committed; good feature.
A related question: the .kcfg file can have <include> tags; this is redundant \
(equivalent) with IncludeFiles in the kcfgc, right? However the .kcfg file seems like \
a better place for include specification to me, since it's closer to where the \
includes are needed (e.g. when a default value needs a #include to compile). The \
problem is that in the .kcfg there is no way to specify "source includes", it seems?
What do I miss? Is there a good reason for specifying includes in the .kcfgc rather \
than in the .kcfg, assuming we add a <sourceinclude> or <include location="source"> \
or something to kcfg files?
