It would be a good idea if some KDE Windows folks joined in on the 
conversation:
https://lists.launchpad.net/coapp-developers/threads.html

There will be some overlap with KDE windows, and a real package manager 
supported by MS, would be great for all of us.   If it could leverage as 
much CMake as possible that would be even better.   What is the current 
list of "cmakeified" third party stuff that is done for KDE windows?
