Yes, I have ported kde 3.4.1 recently to cygwin. All patches of this releases 
are in the kde svn repository (compiled using unsermake). 
The main reason for this port is that this could be used as a working 
environment to implement more native stuff like the KProcess/forking stuff. 

To move one step more to a native port, a native KProcess could be implemented 
and would speed up the working KMail very much. There may be more places 
where this may apply. 

Regards
Ralf
