1. I have found out that automoc was not present in the root project
directory (still don't know why and how it disappeared).

2. When using kdevelop beta4, and trying an 'autoconf and automake' I
get an error because it tries a 'gmake -f Makefile.cvs' : in fact I
don't use any cvs for that project. It is confirmed by the
project->options dialog : version control is set up to none (it is
confirmed in the .kdevprj file, although I find surprising that it is
translated ("Aucune" in French instead of "None").
This bug doesn't appear if I start a brand new project.
