Uhm, we will have at least dependecy between projects, so the builders
know they have to build project foo before project bar. And storage of
such deps would be done in project configuration, by just referencing
the .kdev4 file.

But how/where do you store the selection of projects? Also this would
mean another extra place for env vars, also you'd need to choose wether
these global vars are for building, running or debugging (or any
combination of these three). Not going to work.

Anyway, I'm with you in that for now its enough that we have a common
widget and each plugin that needs environment settings can use it.
