Here's a quick stab at autosave for KDevelop3.

The implementation is straightforward and the only curious thing is probably 
the m_isSaving flag. It's needed to weed out a corner case where if a file 
has been externally modified and the autosave kicks in, KDevelop will show a 
messagebox asking the user for confirmation. Without this flag to keep track 
of this state, the messagebox will be launched again and again (for every 
autosave) and this is potentially really bad.

I put the configuration in Settings -> Configure KDevelop -> Editor. 

Opinions? Worth applying?
