Looks like msvc 7.1 still can't compile this construct:

template<> const char* kstyleName<type>() { return name; } \
    Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN(KStyleFactory<type>)

I've no problems with msvc8 - looks like msvc8 is the only compiler support ed by kdelibs on win32 for now... but don't try to compile kdepimlibs. :-(

Although I'm happy to see people trying to compile kdelibs4/win, I must say that this isn't the real problem for now. The important work has to be done here: http://sf.net/projects/windbus
