Unfortunately those two or Console2 (which is just a nicer gui around
cmd.exe) are the only way to develop KDE apps on windows - AFAIK. At least
running cmake from cygwin won't work, you need a real windows command
prompt for that. Not sure about bash-ports, the ones I've seen so far all
used cygwin or msys and neither of the two will get you proper buildsystem
for windows.
