to say the truth, the quality of the KDE4 code on windows is bad, if
working at all. There is no real need as well, so unless someone
actually either steps up to fix this and invest serious time (or
serious money) into that, I don't want to have plasma desktop on
windows for now. We have a lot of other places to work on.
So my conclusion is that you should go ahead and cleanup your code as
it won't be to much help anyway if somebody wants to port plasma to
windows again in the future.

regards,
Patrick
