*You* should get your act together. You don't have to insert any files into 
projects.

1. Create an empty custom project, 
2. Right-click on the root node, 
3. Enable displaying out-of-project files,
4. Copy/move your files over to the project directory,
5. (menu) View->Refresh
6. Add whatever files you wish to the project, so that they will be parsed for 
class information,
7. Later on you can hide out-of-project files so that they don't clutter your 
view.

Works fine for me (tm) on a 100kline qt qmake-based project. Although I have 
to manage the .pro files by hand, it doesn't really matter that much. 
Everything else just works fine. It's kdevelop 2.1.5. Don't use anything 
older than that, there were many bugs and Qt incompatibilities fixed/worked 
around.
