But actually the right place as its completely dependant on C++ support
and thus you won't see it in any other language.

Anyway, the design problem that the language support is bound inside a
project has been solved in KDevelop4. Apart from that I don't think
we'll see this feature there again :)

Thats not supported in KDevelop3 anyway, KDevelop stores various paths
in the file.

Only some of them, for example which completion databases are used is
very much a project specific option, as well as the include paths you
can give there.

Huh? Both the archive on lists.kde.org as well as our own work fine for
me for searching. But this kind of things are usually found on the
-devel list anyway.
