apptemplates: Alternative Project directory + Link type in .kdevtemplate

Hi,

this is my first post. The topic is inspired by what I'm doing now for the 
company that recently hired me. They want to have all the automake and 
kdevelop-files in a seperate directory. That's why I'm busy with adjusting 
the app-templates (.kdevtemplate) with some new things :

- ProjectDir = KDev
This will put all automake/kdevelop stuff into a dir ./KDev relative to the 
choosen projectdir (e.g. /home/kingkong/mycppproject/KDev) I made a new 
appwizard (that exists next to the original) which show this path in it's 
"final location".
- Added a new Type of action in .kdevtemplate's : "Link" (similar to 
Install/Mkdir/...) .
This is needed because my company wanted the actual source files in the root 
dir (/home/kingkong/mycppproject/) while having the necessary links to them 
for automake/kdevelop (in /home/kingkong/mycppproject/KDev/src/).

Although both these things allready work, there is still some work to do 
concerning the links/etc... in the "new class wizard" and most likely in 
other places.

I want to check if what I describe here would be considered interesting for 
other people. In that case I could commit (some of) my changes (and be less 
different from future of kdevelop ;)).


If you're wondering why all this is so important for my company : They want to 
have simple makefiles because they already have tools that check for complex 
dependencies (in sub/subsub/subsubsub-projects) during the nightly builds.
To let kdevelop work easier with plain simple Makefiles is one of next jobs.


Greets,
DeVol
