Just a small note here, because I don't really know how to put this in a
proper form into the wiki:

Project configuration dialog can't act different wether a project is
loaded or not. This is confusing. Also we need a way to have project
configuration work on multiple projects.

I propose this:

- one Menu entry to change default settings for new projects
- either a menu entry Project Configuration with a subentry for each
  loaded project (eventually also with a <default> entry) or keep this
  in the context menu of the project manager view.

The problem with 1 project config entry is that we then need to hook up
projectmanager view with projectcontroller to supply a way to get at the
"currently selected project". And if we do that, people may write
plugins that depend on a "currently selected project", which is not a
good idea, as we wanted to avoid that. Plugins should always be able to
work with 0..n projects.
