As I could see it nobody is using this old and broken compiler, even not
.net 2003. We (the windows developers) are all using msvc 8, are I'm wrong?
msvc8/Studio/Express 2005 is the compiler mentioned in [2].

So I see no problem for you in using GSL and supporting windows.

There was a dashboard for kdelibs, but not for the whole kde application
 tree.

There are not very much issues which are broken on windows, mostly linker
errors. So don't care about Windows - it will be not very hard to build it
under windows when you've "finished" it on linux".
