I've gotten most everything to compile just fine with 2008 Express by
just changing kdesettings.bat to use msvc2008.  The only real trick is
that currently boost is downloaded as a pre-built library and they
only provide -vc80 files whereas 2008 requires -vc90.  You can fix
this pretty easily by downloading the full (actually, just Program
Options and Python iirc) Boost from
http://www.boostpro.com/products/free and then copying the
program_options and python-boost files from that installation into
your kderoot/lib folder.
