Are you kidding? That tutorial explains that the author uses these paths
and the user might want to use different paths. Those instructions are
for developers, not end users that want to play with KDE4/win32. The
win32 version is nowhere near a beta quality that would allow end users
to play with the apps. 

And I do expect a developer to be able to follow these instructions
replacing paths mentioned with the paths on his own system.

Anyway, if you think it needs improvement (actually IMHO kdelibs.com
should be shut down and all content moved to techbase), please improve
the step-by-step instructions on techbase.

The kdelibs.com pages now indicate they are outdated (dunno wether
SaroEngels just did that or wether that was there longer, if it was than
Gabriel needs to put his lenses on when reading ;).
