Yes, I thought so. But I was not sure, whether the re-import wouldn't 
strip the automake stuff.
But stupid as I am - the import must not touch any make files. Oh, boy!
I'll take this one out immediately...

There is no obvious way to immediately create an intial custom project. 
This is what people seem to stumble over.
Cerainly, you could strip all existing make stuff from a given example. 
(This is was what I meant in the manual.) But does this work? No 
re-import necessary then?

I think so. Can't we provide a simple "Hello world" which just compiles 
without automake/qmake stuff?
