getSubDir() returns the name of the directory where the executable is 
located. (in automake/autoconf projects)
In KDevelop1.2 this is always the subdirectory with the same name as the 
project.
I know this is really stupid, but this code is really old and was "optimized" 
for an automake project with one binary.

Ciao!
Sandy
