kdesupport are packages required by other kde packages

KDE on unix does not require basis libraries or basic tools because they 
can expect them to be available by the base distribution.

On windows the situation is different. We have to provide many of the 
the basic libraries and tools along with the KDE

Additional there are 2 compilers with different ABI.

On c level is is possible in many cases to build a "combined" packages 
supporting both compilers, but on c++ level they are not compatible.

These debugging tools are only links to other locations in the internet 
and do not need to be into the download area.
