X64 MSVC KDE

As promised on IRC during the week I tried to start to compile x64 KDE packages for Windows. 

This causes a lot of problems with the dependencies (the GNU ones) because these need to be compiled as x64 as well. The only way to compile these is with mingw-w64. I spent some time on their IRC channel yesterday OFTC:#mingw-w64. And came to the conclusion after some trying that: 
A) I'm not good enough with the GNU tools to get the toolchain setup properly. 
B) It is easiest to compile these dependencies from Linux. The cygwin package is only 32-bit so then I run 64-bit Windows with a 32-bit compiler for libtool to compile 64-bit libs. 

So if there are any cross-compiling guru's here for the dependencies I would be willing to try again. But for now I'm going back to 32-bit Amarok Windows testing/compiling.
