[CMake] [PATCH] kdevelop3 generator, 2nd version

[William A. Hoffman]

OK, so I just took a closer look at kdevelop and what we did.
The file groups works in our version of kdevelop, but the file tree
tab and cvs do not work with our approach.   

I suppose this means we may have to go back to polluting the source tree.
One other option, since kdevelop only works on unix, would be to
create a mirror tree with symlinks from the binary tree into the
source tree for out of source builds.

How does one do an out of source build with kdevlop right now?
I am guessing you can't.  Perhaps we should be lobbing the kdevlop folks
to add the feature of having a separate source tree from the build tree, and
having the project files live in the build tree.
