klauncher and kdeinit on win32 initial running

[Imre Szabo]

Dear Ralph,

Last year  you were kind to me for compiling
Neuroscope and Klusters to run Cygwin. Recently
several efforts  has been made for porting KDE, Qt and
xml in Windows. As I am not able to estimate it, could
you tell me whether the recent standing of these
efforts permit compilation the Neuroscope and Klusters
or we should wait for further progress.

Best regards,

Imre
