Ummm thats the point ;)

This is so we can use a native more stable Qt on win32.  This will aid the 
development of apps that can be more efficiently ported to KDE from win32.  
While cygwin is neat for playing around, it is by no means stable and fast 
enough for a company to ship an app on hence these changes are needed.
