Hi, I'm not really you man, since I am short on time myself, but
in trying to fix some things in KWord I found that the Makefiles
ware pretty annoying. I changed one value in one cpp file and every
file in the whole dir was rebuild. I can't wait that long to see 
one change in effect...

So that is something you could do to make in more open to everybody.
