[vtkusers] VTK & kdevelop

It would be nice to have a KDevelop project generator in CMake.  That way one 
could use the FIND_PACKAGE(VTK) directive in a CMakeLists.txt file and CMake 
would do all the hard work for you.  I remember someone posting on this topic 
(i.e. KDevelop integration into CMake), but I haven't heard anything since.  
Does anyone have any info on the status, or lack thereof, of this project?
