But if we use ConfigureChecksWin then we have to adjust it manually
which is very error prone, there will be also changes to kdewin in future.

I would prefer some form of kdewin-pre-build.
Maybe by some IFs in the CMakefiles or by calling a additional
CMakefile for building kdewin before the configure process starts.
