Put it in, so I only have to recompile one copy ;-)

It is funny, I haven't received this mail. SF sucks...

It is supposed to be generic, but because the developers use it mostly for
C++/Qt, this support has gone very far. I think after the 3.2 release we
should do real brainstorming with the KDevelop guys. At the moment I don't
know what they really expect from an integration besides saying they have
built-in UML support.

Maybe, just maybe, before you commit it, make a tar.gz of the CVS copy and
put it somewhere so that we can put a link on the homepage for people have
to do their work with the Umbrello version.
