kdevelop.kdevprj.save has been in CVS since ages. :-)
It is the official master of all kdevelop.kdevprj.
Actually a kdevelop.kdevprj should be in CVS but we just put the .save
file there to avoid possible CVS conflicts on cvs update.

Exactly. Everyone who commits kdevelop.kdevprj.save has to ensure it's a
common clean file free of personal local settings. For instance -j20 or
such things...

No it regenerates the Makefile.am's from kdevelop.kdevprj

No worries.

Yes. But the Makefile.am's in CVS have to be generated from the master
kdevelop.kdevprj to proove the theory that KDevelop is able to handle
complex Makefile.am projects.

Once I did that wrong too and was beaten by John Birch. ;-)
