Just to make sure: We're talking about the CMake page in the project
options of those projects inside KDevelop4, not what you did on the
commandline to build them.

Yes, we have an interface for buildsystems that all plugins can use to
get some important information about that buildsystem, among those
informations are the include directories that are used to compile a
specific part of the project (a target or a subdir...)

Not sure what you're asking about here.

BTW: This is exactly the same that other IDE's do, they just happen to
invent their own buildsystems, instead of integrating existing
buildsystems.
