From this I have concluded that it should be possible to use TheIDE also for non-U++-based projects, particularly the code analyzer and a GUI interface to the GNU gdb debugger.
If this isn't true (isn't it?) then it doesn't make much sense for us to invest forther work into becoming acquainted with U++.

I'm sure Mirek will correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess in theIDE, "Run in debugger" will first try to build the application - but since I haven't played with using external makefiles, I'm not sure what happens. If you're building with a customised U++ build and not just running Execute from a macro, then you might be able to use the debugger from theIDE.
I believe the code analyser (Assist++) works with package files only and has a limitation with macros, but it could still be useful - you've probably seen this. http://upp.sourceforge.net/app$ide$Assist$en-us.html
BTW - don't miss Alt-left and Alt-right with code navigation - I'm not sure if they're documented yet.
