There are currently two always usable applications in mind
    ln2kdesktop  - convert windows startmenu links into kde desktop 
files (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/kde-cygwin/tools/lnk2desktop/)
    kde-installer  - a Qt (command and gui) based download and install 
tool for kde developers on windows, which allow easy installation of 
various required libraries and tools   (libraries from GnuWin32 project, 
download of python/perl installation package )

These tools are already usable, no playground. They may have language 
support in the future, so where to place them ?
