I understand what you mean. And I was (and even am) partially in your 
situation some time ago.
Yes, all my previous experience was also "automatic"...:-)
But as I like kdevelop very much, I decided to take myself by the collar and 
spend several hours on CMAKE study.
Well, I was bad pupil, but several major principles of these text files I 
understood and built several for myself. It took me less then 1 hours as there 
is a lot of material in the Internet.
The problem is that this information goes out of the brains when you do not 
use it...:-( And I use it once in a year...:-)
Anyway, if you have a working text file and want to compile all *.cpp files in 
a directory add this clause to the text file - it will do the job.
Feel free to ask in a privet mail...:-) leonp at plris dot com.
