Build configurations are a user preference, as they contain the developer-
dependent build directory or even options like --host (note that build
configurations are automake specific; in contrast to other IDEs, the end
result of a project is not a binary package with installer, but a .tar.gz
package which still has to be compiled for the target system). Run options
also depend on the developer's testing environment. These are typical
things to be stored in the project file. Shared things like file templates or
the Doxygen configuration are not part of the project file (and have never
been).
