The NEdit part is just a proof of concept, a two days hack of mine to get it 
working. It is far from usable and has little or no error recovery.

Imho it belongs into kdenonbeta or kdeextragear like the kvim part so that 
more apps can make use of it (like Konqueror, KMail etc.). But since I don't 
have time to maintain it, I'll just let it rot in the KDevelop tree. To build 
it, you have to create the Makefile manually:

cd kdevelop/parts
create_makefile nedit/Makefile
cd nedit
make && make install

The main problem is the communication Gideon <-> NEdit, can you think of a 
nice way to get the current line number for the status display without 
constant polling?

Best regards,
Harry
