I agree with you totally.  What I've been doing is creating a new
project, then over-writing the generated qmake-based project file with
an old one created from a previous version of kdev.  This old project
file has been stripped of all project-specific data and simply has the
framework and variables needed to use an old-fashioned gmake Makefile.

It's klunky and buggy, but it works and I haven't found ANY way to do
this directly from the IDE.  Grrrr.

Cheers,
