That depends on what you intend to do. Generally, I'd say that if you want to 
use Qt, then the way to go is currently: develop your stuff in kdevelop, add 
.pro files to your project that you have to maintain yourself and use tmake 
to generate the windows Makefile with that so you can compile the windows 
version with nmake under windows. If you're not depending on Qt, you could as 
well use cygnus under windows and the gnutools, so the automake setup is 
supposed to work there as well, but I can't confirm this to 100%. The best 
would be to use tmake additionally to your project and compile under VC++ on 
windows currently; that's how other companies do it right now.
