Why are you disappointed? What did you expect? I dont quite understand
this attitude.

What release have you tried? There wasnt any recently, afaik, and
KDEVELOP_1_4 did have a lot of problems, that's fairly well known.

Yep, dont work anymore, I can prob. fix that since I think I was the

Cleanup off these is in progress. Unfortunately some parts of this code
are in _bad_ shape. I just spend 5 hours to clean up some things and
probably broke more than I went out to fix...
