I didn't even realize that this was still possible with the apps modules, but
I'd like to keep it. (Actually I may reenable it in my own kdelibs builds,
if possible.)
I still find it more convenient to work in the source tree since my primary
interface for building and editing is the shell it means that I don't have to
have one shell open for make and another one for opening up source files. I
assume I'm not alone in this style of development.
