Is there already some documentation about the new project management
system? I had a quick look at the code, and at first sight it seems
very readable, but some high-level documentation would be even better.

Is the new project management system already used in the current
version of kdevelop? Or how would I be able to test it? I'm very busy
right now, so I'm targetting this build system for kdevelop4. I'm not
planning a release with the old project manager (or it should be very
easy to port afterwards).

If I find some documentation, and I understand the kdevelop project
management code well enough, I will investigate how hard this will be,
and post my ideas and problems about the implementation.
