It seems it cannot find the openssl libraries which I have never seen
before. This works on our buildserver, so it shouldn't happen.

What you should check:
do C:\kderoot\lib\ssleay32.dll.a and C:\kderoot\lib\libeay32.dll.a
exist? If not, try if reinstalling emerge -i openssl helps you.

I have one thing to mention here though:
- You work without shortening the path (see the kdesettings.bat), which
is not really recommended because it will probably fail later in Qt.

Personally I also would set EMERGE_SOURCEONLY=True (just add at the end)
and EMERGE_BUILDTYPE=Debug in kdesettings.bat.
