This is interesting. I am still thinking of something such because by 
generating a KDevelop3 project (or doing it manually), KDevelop refuses to 
add the common folder sources as part of the project. KDevelop becomes simply 
an editor around these files and does not offer all goodies such as code 
completion, code navigation, documentation etc.

I didn't want to bring in an unintuitive directory structure to aid this. 
Still confused! :-)
