I plan to copy what QtCreator does - i.e. giving users the ability to cut out 
the editor pane into a separate window. Individual toolviews can already float 
in their own window (useful for documentation e.g.).

Having two "full" KDevelop windows is pretty complex code-wise and doesn't 
really pay off that much, in my opinion. That said, if anyone wants to work on 
multi-window support, he's more than invited to do so.

Fun-fact: Our old code base is riddled with traces of the multi-window 
support. It was disabled back then because it proofed to complex to implement 
properly. I'd love to get rid of this old complexity by removing it all. 
Putting the splittable editor into a separate window is pretty easy compared 
to that.
