No the IDE only takes away the part about having to edit the related
files by hand. I'm not sure however wether KDevelops automake support is
sophisticated enough to help you with custom makefile targets. 

Anyway, KDevelop always aimed at providing a GUI for existing
buildsystems so that beginners can start more easily. For advanced stuff
you still have to understand the underlying buildsystem.

Well, then he was wrong. In particular the filetemplates stuff has
nothing to do with how a project is build. It simply tells KDevelop what
file types to recognize as part of a project.

It does, its called Custom Makefile.
