Wow, _very_ cool ! :-)

Some questions:

Why do you need to preset all the variables starting with KDE4_INSTALL_DIR, 
especially the KDE4_XXX_LIBRARY variables ?

we should be able to fix that...

Can't this be corrected in the source files where the headers are included ?

what's the problem here with linking ?
This shouldn't happen, we have to fix it.

What's the exact problem here ?
Does the Windows moc have to be used ? Why ?

So you run the generated executables using wine ? Interesting. The idea was to 
use "native" executables if cross compiling. But if it works, ok.
