Wouldn't it be nice to have some feature where one could have the configurescript check for
different files and if they exist, define that in config.h? Let's say I write a prog which
needs /dev/tty5 for something special :) I add "/dev/tty5" in some box somewhere in KDevelop
and this gets added to the configurescript.. which if that file exist, adds "#define HAVE_DEV_TTY5 1" to config.h!
