Damn, that is _still_ not released (I personally also wait for it to finally 
release my Massif Visualizer). I'll bug Klaeg again...

This is not true. 4.2 / moving ranges is supposed to work fine with 4.5 as 
that already contains the moving ranges (in addition to the smart ranges). 
It's the other way around: KDE 4.6 will _only_ work with KDevelop 4.2 (due to 
its hard dependency on Moving Ranges and total drop of SmartRanges).
