Bug#37086: open include file under cursor

[Roland Krause]

Joerg,
this is because you dont use the ctags feature. Install "exuberant
ctags" from ctags.sf.net, then go to Options->KDevelop Setup,
[Documentation] and eneable ctags database. After that, the loading of
include files will work as expected. 

Second, yes, the behavior is unintuitive but in the old codebase it is
quite hard to improve (possible but only with a crude hack). I decided
to wait until the editor was replaced by kate. 

gideon has also implemented this feature, so has kate, havent looked as
to how these guys do it but I am open to suggestions on how to improve
things, i.e. a patch :-)
