As I said, I'd rather not move into kdevelop at this point anyway. I'm
totally fine with it being available under plugins and doing a release
before it moves there (I'll try to do that this weekend). I can just as
well do a release for KDevelop 4.2 around the time when you're releasing
that into the wild. I probably won't do more than a single beta and maybe
one rc though before that.

I think once its released I should open a bugzilla component in kdevelop
for it, even if its not part of the git repository. So you'll be spared
from forwading reports to me :)
