Hello Pike Man,
Take a look at [1] -- in particular "For msvc compilers only: Patch Qt source 
code" part contains my patch I prepared for cases like this.

A side note is that most of the brave folks on this list use and work on 
KDE4/Qt4 version of the libs. KDE3/win32 is more like a domain of commercial 
applications on Windows due to Qt3 license. That said, I think kdelibs 3.5 
should compile for you -- using the docs[1]. BTW: I only use msvc2003.
