I'd like to have quanta in a separate project and along with it all the
web-related plugins that are supported. Those will be much different
from what a C++ IDE needs and it would IMHO be better to group them
separately. Additionally it'll give web-devs a single place to find
their stuff (as kdevplatform will probably be a system-install).

Agree.
