IMO there exist two types of projects: those that have one main program,
and those that have multiple.

Take for example kdebase. It has many programs. Of course one can
make a project file for each program. But it is not necessary to do so,
as having one project for the whole kdebase is just fine.

Having both options (debug main/active, run main/active) on the gui might 
be the best choice. 

For me the question is: is this something that changes within the same 
project? Or could it be a per-project choice that could be "hidden" within 
the project options?

Kind regards,
Stefan
