KDevelop Ruby support

[Richard Dale]

I've just been looking at the recent commits in kde-cvs at kde.org and several 
ones from Alex Dymo on the KDevelop ruby support. I've just been trying out 
the Qt Designer integration - wow! I'd just about got round to thinking about 
adding it, and now it's already there and looking pretty stunning! It really 
is starting to look a very nice RAD environment indeed.

Sounds good. I'll add another project template for the qmakeapp translated 
into ruby in the same customproject style.

I love this! It works beautifully.

Oops - sorry about that..

The class parser is a bit simple with just matching regular expressions. It 
isn't powerful enough to look for the end's of method definitions. Perhaps if 
it looked for an 'end' with the same level of indentation as the 'def', that 
might be better than nothing.

I'm quite excited about KDevelop ruby support now - I think it really is going 
to get a lot of people trying out QtRuby/Korundum - a really perfect match.

Just some sort of interactive debugger, and it really will be a killer RAD 
environment.
