Its free for commits.

With little effort I think I can get the plugin into a state where it should be at least able to load automake projects into KDevelop4.

To bring it into the trunk/ module again it'll need to supply the complete
project tree also for complex projects, needs to support all builder
methods and supply proper build directories. Thats a must. It would also be
good if it can support the add file/target/directory and remove API.
