Last time I developed windows software It worked well with mingw if I
remember correct.

Hm, I used a clean system with a Mingw/Msys installation without
something KDE specific. Maybe mixing environments doesn't work here.

As I said, I've no more win32 suite here as I don't develop open source
windows software at the moment. Last time I provided a win32 binary I
used a Linux cross compiler. That worked good. Is it possible for use
to use a cross compiler setup? Maybe I could help you with this.

I'm no big fan of providing two build systems. As long as there's no
official release I would propose to not include it into the GIT repo
for now.
