I actually (mostly) followed the instructions for using emerge from the  
kde on windows pages.  I'd have to go digging again for exact URL's.   
The hard part is that all the current KDE on Windows effort is going to  
the frameworks builds, so getting any of the older versions to work  
takes some effort.  Try it - wait for something to fail - figure out  
how to get past it.  I had been trying once or twice a year for quite a  
while, and it finally worked a few months ago.  I'll have to go digging  
into that folder to see if I can repeat it, or at least help someone  
else who is trying.

Looking again, it was 4.6.4.  I'm currently trying to build 4.7.2, and  
having all sorts of problems.  The compile fails, missing something  
that worked fine last time.  I go to reinstall or update that, and it  
fails missing something else.  I may just start from scratch, and know  
everything is fresh.  The problem is that with the lack of attention to  
this branch of the KDE-Windows stuff, most of the utilities are not  
even using the latest available which should work with KDE 4.14 (which  
is the latest version present at all.)

I'll update again once I get a more solid platform.
