kontact in kde on windows

[Till Adam]

Hi Francesco,

welcome to the team! It's great to hear you want to help out with Kontact in 
particular. I'm currently working on this as part of Kolab Systems' work to 
provide a great native client for Kolab based on Kontact. Patrick Spendrin is 
helping me. We've gotten it to work pretty well but have some patches that we 
still need to upstream. This is all based on 4.14 and MSVC2013, so it uses 
baloo and not virtuoso etc anymore, which makes things easier. I hope to find 
time over the next days and weeks to get all those changes upstreamed so 
others can replicate our builds. 

You can try the current version here, if you want:

Cheers,
