Yes, those templates.

Yes, but the Makefile I'm using allows you to do everything in  
KDevelop, no need to go to the command line.

I am not using CMake-generated KDevelop project files, though.

Even more, using DCOP it should be possible to close and reopen the  
project once CMake generates a new .kdevelop file just like CMake did  
in Visual Studio:
dcop kdevelop-5898 KDevProject closeProject
dcop kdevelop-5898 KDevCore openProject  
/home/pgquiles/personal/escarlampio/elampo/elampo.kdevelop

(The "closeProject" did not work for me, I don't know why and I have  
not looked at the sources).
