They are needed for every external process that KDevelop or one of its plugins 
will launch.  Say the QT_PLUGINS_DIR for the designer plugin.  Or the QTDIR 
for the qmake plugin.  Or the debugger env vars for the debugger plugin.  Or 
the env vars for the vcs plugins.  Or the ... [insert env var] ... for 
the ... [insert plugin] ... that will come later.

It is really simple.  The idea was that the user would have the ability to set 
all environment options in one place and all external processes of KDevelop 
would use it.  Doesn't mean you still couldn't allow multi setups.

Anyway, it is up to you guys since I won't be coding it besides what is 
already there, but as a user of KDevelop, I'd really like it if I could set 
my environment once and be sure that all processes will use it.  Makes it 
brain-dead easy for the user to understand what so and so plugin is actually 
doing.
