I think this has to be done in the generator so that projects can not set values
that cause kdevelop not to work.

For the color stuff, you can just set this in the constructor
cmGlobalKdevelopGenerator()
{
this->ToolSupportsColorVT100 = false
}

For the VERBOSE stuff, you can do this:
Add an ivar to cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3
bool ForceVerbose;
initialize it to false in cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3.
But in cmLocalKdevelopGenerator() set it to true.

Then in cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3
::WriteSpecialTargetsTop()

 if(this->Makefile->IsOn("CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE") || this->ForceVerbose)

Alternatively, you could make sure that when kdevelop runs make
it always does make VERBOSE=1.

Figure what works best and send me a patch.
