Just to say me too ;-)

I use kexample all the time as something to rip the autoconf off of and have
coded nothing outside of fte (a nice editor with a KDE port) for almost a year
now. IDE's are important to many developers, but nowhere near all of them -
especially Unix ones. We really need to keep these examples around.
