I didn't give it a go with older projects though what you basically need to 
do to fix this is *very* easy :)

To update your package to the newest KDE version either:
-install the newest kdevelop and copy 
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdevelop/templates/admin.tar.gz to your project dir and rm 
-rf admin in your project dir, then tar zxvf admin.tar.gz there to replace 
the old one. Then run make distclean in kdevelop, call automake (from the 
menu), then configure and finally make.

or:
-cvs co kde-common/admin from the KDE CVS in HEAD or the branch for your 
distribution (here: use -rKDE_2_2_BRANCH or KDE_2_2_RELEASE) by anonymous 
cvs. Otherwise same procedure as above.

If you want to support the latest stuff from kde-common/admin, then grab that 
from CVS, create a tarball from the admin dir (e.g. in mc change to admin and 
hit F2) called admin.tar.gz and copy it over to your 
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdevelop/templates/admin.tar.gz to replace the current 
one. That will make your new applications generated require the currently 
used Qt library and KDE libraries. A change there is to be expected by next 
week's friday when Dirk wants to update to Qt 3 for KDE HEAD as a 
requirement, so if you want to make sure to limit the problems on your 
customer's site when he is supposed to compile your product by ./configure, 
make and make install and you're using Qt 3 you should (after a careful test) 
update after next week's changes are done. Mind that current Qt 3 does also 
work with the current admin without requiring any changes but the check in 
configure counts a Qt 2 installation as valid so you might want to change 
that if your application requires Qt 3.

If there are still questions open with that, please feel free to ask here so 
they can be answered to your satisfaction.
