Hi Guilherme,

just for information, we reverted yesterday the changes I did to make it
work with Craft and binary-factory because it broke the original way of
building Marble on Windows (
https://community.kde.org/Marble/WindowsCompiling).
We need to find a way to make both of the generation coexist.
