K3b on windows

[Andrius da Costa Ribas]

I believe the main dependencies listed in k3b website are available in
windows but in really old versions, k3b is my favorite burning software, I
would really prefer k3b than others on windows, congrats!

> there is announced that k3b will be ported to kde4. Based on this work
> there were some patches committed to make k3b compilable on windows to
> be able to identify where additional porting work is required.
>
> The recent state is that k3b could be build (at least with msvc), could
> be started and the gui is mostly running. Media info could be retrieved
> from a real cd (by using the solid fake hw backend[1])
>
> As far as I can see yet the following things are open:
>
> - win32 solid support for detecting optical disks (Sebastian Trüg has an
> old patch for scanning win32 cdrom's)
> - the win32 part of the unbuffered qprocess patch from Sebastian Trüg
> has to be implemented in the k3b svn code.
> - the required libraries libsamplerate and libdvdcss has been cmakeified
> and are added to the emerge build system - they still need more tests
> - the optional libcdio library does not have cmake support yet and is
> not in the emerge tree.
> - also the KURL path()/isLocalFile() problem is present - there are many
> places where the wrong path() method is used for  local files where
> toLocalFile() should be used
> - there may be problems for non administrators to access cd drives - may
> be someone have a solution for this
> - cdrtools/cdrkit has to be emerged
> - binary packages should be added to the KDE Win distribution
>
> Everyone who has an interest to see K3B on Windows in a functional state
> is invited to contribute
