I don't believe a native Win32 port is possible at all without stumbling into
major conceptually incompatibilities and failing there.

A MS-Windows console window is controlled by an API, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/character_mode_applications.asp

This has conceptually nothing to do with the konsole or with any other
terminal and i doubt that any code from the konsole could be reused for
a better MS-Windows console window. The whole infrastructure is too
different.
