[Cmake] CMake and KDevelop

Ok, I should have thought a bit about if before replying. 
kdevelop doesn't feature an own build system, you can import makefile-based
projects 
(then "compile" will call make), there you have to add the source files
manually and 
you can create projects. These created projects are usually auto*-projects
or 
qmake-projects.  
Just creating a kdevelop-project file isn't enough, it still needs a build
system. 
OTOH, if cmake would create the makefile and additionally a kdevelop-project
file, 
then kdevelop would know how to build the project (with make) and would know
which 
files belong to the project (from the generated kdevelop-project file). 
So, a cmake-based kdevelop-project could mean it generates a simple
cmakelists.txt, 
which in turn generates the kdevelop-project file, which references the 
cmakelists.txt in some way.  
Weird. Let's see.
