Heya,

That's great to hear. On point, since we've released the Windows version just 
a few days ago!

I'll try to have a look as soon as possible. As a first step we should try to 
import the project into KDE infrastructure -- I can help with that.

Any reason you don't want to continue as-is with the MinGW-based build? That's 
no issue for us, you choose either MinGW or MSVC to build KDevelop on Windows.

Actually that's possible of course, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort 
right now. It'd be too time consuming for us I fear.

Anything wrong with sticking to compiling KDevelop yourself on your Windows 
machine?

I'm sure you're aware of Emerge already -- but in case you aren't:
  https://userbase.kde.org/KDevelop/Install#Microsoft_Windows

PS: Would be cool to see you join #kdevelop on Freenode (our main 
communication channel)

Welcome to KDevelop devel,
Kevin
