1. No, probably this will be the case in the future.
For now use (in ICE.h or so):

# include <kdelibs_export.h>
#ifdef MAKE_KICE_LIB
# define KICE_EXPORT KDE_EXPORT
#else
# define KICE_EXPORT KDE_IMPORT
#endif

You have exactly one file to include, which in turn includes 
kdelibs_export_win.h if needed:
# include <kdelibs_export.h>

kdelibs_export_win.h exists because it wasa annoying to non-win32 devs to 
recompile very-low-level kdelibs_export.h all the time I checked sometimes not 
related to their target. See 1: with automatic MAKE_**_LIB generation by bksys 
the kdelibs_export_win.h will be probably removed, but not today.
