Sorry, but I completely disagree that kapptemplate and kexample are
"obsolete".  You are making a HUGE assumption with that statement -- that all
developers will want to use KDevelop.  Now as nice as it is (and KDevelop is
*by far* the best IDE I've seen on Unix), that still will never be the case.
MOST developers still use the standard vi/emacs setup and would never touch a
GUI IDE no matter *how* good it was.  kapptemplate and kexample are tools for
those people...
