Thanks, it's much clearer now what you intend to do. About the ignored
messages I'm sure it's just a matter of lack of time from all
community members so if you are willing to put some work into running
Kexi on Windows please stay around and I'm sure we can work things
out. Just if you didn't knew: I think the team's presence on IRC is
better then on the mailing list (but I would like to see this
changed).

Anyway I should move "Compiling KDE4 on Windows" up my tasks list
since at the beginning of October we intend to release KMyMoney again
and by then I would expect to be able to package it on Windows without
problems so maybe I'll take a look at it this weekend and fix any
issues I find. I used kde-4.10 for the last installer I've made (I
still have the build) but I intend to update to kde-4.12.

As I've said running a 32 bit application should work just fine
(writing this using webmail in 32 bits Google Chrome on a 64 bits
Windows), I never seen any warnings about this.

Cristian
