Building Kdevelop 4.7.3 on Cygwin --Total success!!!!

[Michael George Hart]

Now to throw some bad news on my success.

KDE under cygwin is inherently unstable. Therefore Kdevelop 4.7.3 is also
unstable

I noticed this when I wanted to change the editors configuration on the
Kdevelop
This system Kdevelop simply locked up.

I even started the test kate and kwrite by starting their own menu for
editor configuration. ... kate consistently locked up.

I guess the day when KDE become stable under cygwin we will all happily be
able to use kdevelop
