I am glad that someone fired up the question about admin directory - 
I've got the question about it too.

I am using the KDevelop-2.1.5 for my projects with the KDevelop-3 admin 
directory set-up as admin template for new projects. I have also patched 
all existing KDevelop-2.1.x projects with the new admin directory and it 
seems that they do perfectly - even with the crosscompiling for other 
targets there is no problems in comparission to older (orginal 
KDevelop-2.1.x) ones.

So when you are mentioning that you are keeping a little bit older 
admin/aoutotools versions for the sake of the backward compatibility, I 
must ask you about till when you intent to keep them compatible with the 
gcc-2.95.3/autoconf-2.5x/automake-1.6.x/kdelibs-3.0.x ? I am asking this 
because I want to be prepared to migrate projects to be compatible with 
higher auto... versions at the right time.

Regards !
