bug in the class browser

[holle at almaden.ibm.com]

What about integrating the cppp (no typo) from the gcc source code. It is, as
far as I recall, a minimum preprocessor that is used to preprocess gcc's sources
before the cpp is compiled.  -- it may be called different, but I think they
have something there.

But tie Kdevelop directly to gcc. My understanding of KDE in general  is that it
is for all Unix platforms, not just Linux/FreeBSD/GNU based systems.
Unfortunate for those people wanting to use the native compilers on Solaris or
IRIX etc..The Solaris cpp for one does not support anything like -dM according
to the manual page.

I am not someone who would be upset with this scheme, but I worry about adding
hard dependencies between products; it always seems to come back to haunt you
later on for one reason or another.
