nice to see progress here. :-)

Here it does look for test.kdev4.webprj ;-)

You are aware that you are using the project name which could also be defined 
inside of the project file? The filename is only the default but you could 
get another name from inside of the project file. I am not sure if we want 
this?

OK, but we use it only to find out which files are in the project, right?
Unfortunately this will bind us to one project must have a common root folder. 
I remember that some people complained about this and KDevelop is moving away 
from this too.

I have one file in my project but it does not show up in the tree. But I have 
not time yet to investigate.
