Settings that should not be in the project file

What you say is true, but your assumption is wrong. The .kdevelop file
was never designed to be shared. Don't share it. Don't check it in
into any common repository. You create a problem and gain nothing.

Every member of the project should run Project->Import Project instead
to create their own copy of the .kdevelop project file.
