I dont really see how... before if you changed the implementation the moc.cpp 
was not regenerated and did not need to be recompiled, while now you 
recompile all (since it's just a big single file)... but oh well!, if you say 
it will compile faster I'll just take your word =)

yes. such things were a matter of 3 clicks in KDevelop. The same goes for 
adding a folder or a new file.. so I wish us all good luck with make and 
friends.
I dont really see why the KDE people dont allow us to have KDevelop-managed 
makefiles. After all KDevelop makes it in such a way that you dont depend on 
it for building your project (all you need is autoconf + automake.. just like 
with user-managed makefiles)

This brings me to another question... if we have to learn how makefiles work, 
then be it -- I guess one day it would've happend anyways-- .. but... will we  
still be able to use KDevelop ?  (and I mean not just the editor, 
* but clicking "run" to make and run the project?
* build->autoconf and automake and configure?
*project->add new classes?

I am still in the painfully slow process of updating my KDE to 3.1 via an old 
modem, so I havent been able to  build the new umbrello yet..
