the .pro file is a disaster

It shouldn't be that bad. I have updated the .pro file now to include the neoscrypt algo changes - which I had ommitted from the .pro before.
no leveldb rules? Are you sure about that ?
There is not a leveldb folder in the src. Not all coins have them.
If you are finding serious issues with the compilation of the PRO however, let us know.
