  As a develper, currenly I have the 0.9.96, and I stick with it until  
ubuntu 10.04 is released. Then I'll use the default version from the  
ubuntu repositories (and quite some users will have that version).

  For the long term, maybe with some CMake magic and/or shell scripts for  
the configuration phase, we could extract the plugin version number from  
kdevplatfrom, and use that as a macro in the plugin version number. If the  
version is different from the "known" ones that work, print a warning  
"ktechlab might crash, due to possible kdevplatform incompatibility". This  
sounds as hacking...
