Hi Simon,
for most things I agree. The practice of letting the .cpp files empty is
bizarre. We should not overlock that c++ is not the newest and smartest
programming language (but it is still my favorate one).
By the way - the linker for 95% of the programmers is usually very fast, it
uses incremental linking. Compared to the gnu stuff their build system is
very fast !!! It's all precompiled headers, incremental compile and
incremental linking.
Could KDE use Trolltechs build system? KDE depends on QT anyhow, so why not
use qmake?
