ENH: add cmExternalMakefileProjectGenerator, which should make it easier to

write generators for IDE projects, which use already existing makefiles
(current the kdevelop generator)
-first stept of the export interface, iniitial export() command
-more replacements for the FIND_XXX docs

+ *
+ * cmExternalMakefileProjectGenerator is a base class for generators
+ * for "external makefile based projects", i.e. IDE projects which work 
+ * an already existing makefiles.
+ * See cmGlobalKdevelopGenerator as an example.
+ * After the makefiles have been generated by one of the Makefile 
+ * generators, the Generate() method is called and this generator
+ * can iterate over the local generators and/or projects to produce the 
+ * project files for the IDE.
