Its really not that bad. Its only few cases (like 1 out of 30 commits) 
that changes rbuild/cmake files, so only in those cases it would be 
neccessary to do additional work and check if it builds. If you only 
change source files, its very unlikely to break build.
So for now until kdbg is fixed and hopefully everyone knows how to use 
cmake, I'd appreciate if you would take the extra efford in these cases 
(it won't be that way forever!) and also fix the cmake files. This way 
you will also learn how to work with cmake files. Thanks to Alex for at 
least trying to not break cmake builds, Ged, your "the cmake people will 
manage that" approach is disapproved :)

Thanks,
Timo
