autotools support

[Lorenzo Bettini]

Hi Robert

I've just tried that but I get this error:

Scanning dependencies of target kdevautomakeimporter_automoc
Generating moc_automakeimporter.cpp
/home/bettini/install/kdevelop/projectmanagers/automake/automakeimporter.h:52: 
Error: Undefined interface
automoc4: process for 
/home/bettini/install/kdevelop/build/projectmanagers/automake/moc_automakeimporter.cpp 
failed: Unknown error
pid to wait for: 0
returning failed..

in particular this line

Q_INTERFACES( KDevelop::IBuildSystemManager )

actually I rerun cmake and then make on an already compiled kdevelop (in 
a separate build directory)...

Basic make-support is also implemented, so you're able to build either whole directories or single targets. Currently editing Makefile.am and running automake-and-friends has to be done manually. Separating build from source directory is not possible at the moment as make get called inside the source directory.
