Sure, but you have to admit, that there is a subtle difference between Linux 
different versions and Linux vs. Windows.

The best you can do here is that if you have access to Windows and a compiler 
and can build KDE there, just do it, and fix the issues yourself and 
commit/push.

The problem is that if the developer doesn't have access to the tools, all 
fixes will be done blindly. Doable, but not that easy and more error-prone.

Mingw doesn't catch compiler msvc errors, the two compilers are different 
enough that having access to one doesn't guarntee the second will work.


Re. tools I was thinking about the server itself (MS license), compiler tools 
(if you want anything more then the free compiler) and the rest. Don't ask me, 
I'm not a Windows person who knows what exactly needs to be bought for such a 
setup.
