The problem is that there are only a few KDE developers with extensive 
knowledge of making correct Makefile.am-s and those people do not tend to use 
KDevelop. If you fix things throughout all of KDE (which is _alot_ of source) 
it doesn't work if you have to use KDevelop for one application, Kate for 
another and Joe for a third. Luckily the output generated by most 
text-editors is highly compatible. KDevelop unfortunately is the odd one out 
when it comes to Makefile.am-s.

I understood that the Gideon version of KDevelop will be less intrusive wrt 
Makefile.am you might want to give that one a try.

Cheers,
Waldo
