So this is being done during runtime of kdevelop? Or during installation
time? The latter would suggest an install rule that puts the .bean file
into <prefix>/share/apps/kdeverlang (there's a variable for the
share/apps part:DATA_INSTALL_DIR. If its generated during runtime then
using KStandardDirs to get the url for a file in
$KDEHOME/share/apps/<yourpluginname> would be correct.
