Ah. But could we make it so that  -I${CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} is first for any
subdir of kdelibs? I wouldn't want to require that every CMakeLists.txt has to say so...

If I put that in kdelibs/CMakeLists.txt it will only make subdirs inherit "build/kdelibs" 
but not "build/kdelibs/kio/kfile", when compiling from kdelibs/kio/kfile, right?

I'm surprised that "current source dir" and "current binary dir" aren't automatically
in the include dirs - and aren't first in that list, if they are. It seems common sense
that #include "foo.h" or "foo.generated" should look in the current source/binary dir first.
