+ * \brief Base class for generators for "External Makefile based IDE projects".
+ *
+ * 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.
