Hmm? Actually, the things I've been griped at about /are/ documented 
(meaning, the doc matches the usage - which differs from my 
auto-generated project - that I was told to use). I'm thinking in 
particular of AC_INIT, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, AC_LANG_CPP... at least those 
are the ones that have come up so far. Especially AC_INIT which seems to 
be used wrong throughout all of KDE (that's a somewhat peripheral issue, 
although KDevelop doesn't seem to be discouraging such (mis)use).
