some general questions about (building) kde on windows

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

where do windows users get stuff like libxml, libxslt, libpng, libjpeg, 
lib(un)gif, libz and e.g. perl get from ? Are there different version for 
msvc and mingw ? Is there maybe already a document which contains this 
information ?

What are the files in kdelibs/win/tools/ for ? Are they required for msvc or 
mingw ? Do they required a sh compatible shell ? Or are they not needed 
anymore at all ? 

Are there issues like the RPATH problem on unix under windows too ? IOW, how 
do the just-compiled executables find their libraries ? Do they have to be 
located in some special location or is the location of the libraries somehow 
compiled into the executables ?

Bye
Alex
