I guess Christian should've done a bit more work and name them
differently. As far as I know this were simply "windows packages" of the
KDE Beta releases, so people know which feature/bug-set they get. At
least his last mail on the kde-windows list says that KDE/win32 won't be
ready anytime before 4.1 and I agree with that.

Sorry I actually didn't read the rest of the thread, just jumped in :)

I should check with myself? Ok, granted I'm not really a kdewin-guy as
I've mostly left that part of KDE hacking for nearly 5 months now. But I
do actively monitor their work :)

I had a quick look and as far as I can see thats not for installing,
thats for building your kde app. Of course I might just have overlooked
something, but at least thats how the actions in the emerge source
sounded. Anyway, not that important, I know the setup on win32 is still
bumpy.

Oh, last but not least: If you find problems that are specific to win32,
please send a mail to the kde-windows mailinglist as AFAIK noone (except
myself) of the kdewin-people read this list.
