[KDev4] vcs integration - KUrl of a file is not enough to know the file's project!

Well, the project file of kdevelop4 projects won't contain much
information. Currently all that is in such a file is the name of the
projectmanagement plugin. Anything else goes into a hidden file (like
path to qmake, cmake, builddir for cmake and so on)

Hmm, I start to think your aegis is not easily representable with
kdevelop4 projects.

I don't think we intercept save at the moment in that regard. That is
part of the editor. So you wouldn't have a possibility to do this copy. 

I have no idea how we could change projectmanagement and vcs interface
so that it fits aegis, without making the interfaces hard to use for
"normal" projects.
