Sir Michal, sorry for the late response

This patch by itself works with kdevelop so I hope you did not submit my crap
KBUILD_FULL_PATH patch at all and only added this one (and I know, the fix to this
one with the -s)

For me I do not have use for KBUILD_FULL_PATH so I do not see any point for it.

Also not that I like your patches because now I can compile the same directory
from different machines with different absolute paths to the source and the
compilation will come out the same. (before changed absolute path would cause
a rebuild)

Thanks
Boaz
