Yes, of course.
I think we can look in the coming days how to add a redirection to your
binary download on sourceforge I think. For that you should build
krusader and package it and upload it.

krusader can now be build as many other KDE apps on windows:
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Windows/emerge
(be aware that this tool is not really identical to the gentoo one!)

To package krusader against KDE 4.1.3 release you should do the following:
- set up a build environment as described above.
- build KDE 4.1.3 with build type Release or RelWithDebInfo:
first do "set EMERGE_TARGET=4.1.3"
then do "emerge kde-4.1/kdebase-runtime".
- then build kdewin-installer in the same way:
"emerge kdewin-installer"
The installer package contains the executable needed to package krusader.
- then build krusader in the same way:
"emerge --target=TARGET krusader"
(look into 
%KDEROOT%\emerge\portage\testing\krusader\krusader-2.0.0svn.py which 
targets exist)
then do the packaging step:
"emerge --package krusader"
Packages should be available under %KDEROOT%\tmp now.

I will probably send some patches as soon as I have finished building 
krusader on msvc.
