There's no such thing available, at least not open source. Visual Studio
Express comes for free nowadays, but I didn't test importing kdelibs
into that. I did test DevCPP, Codeblocks and Eclipse/CDT to import
kdelibs, the first two didn't have an easy way to import existing
sources (letting me add each subdir or even files manually, yikes).
Eclipse' indexer has serious problems with source projects of the size
of kdelibs, so you have to disable it and loose things such as code
completion, code navigation and maybe others.

So I'm happy to have KDevelop3 on Linux on the same table as the windows
monitor, so an editor in Win32 is sufficient (using Notepad++ for that
atm)
