Can you explain the variables in make_release.bat? I've edited the
wiki, check and if needed fix them there.

Now, I had to provide the full path to cmake:

%KDEPREFIXDRIVE%\%KDEPREFIX%\bin\cmake   (instead of just cmake)

in make_release.bat file; because, the KDE4\bin dir is not in the %PATH%.

Now, from the windows_nsis dir when I run "make_release.bat", after
all the SET statements, this what I get:

(Note: "D:\RKWard_devel\release_branch_0.5.4\windows_nsis\build>" is
just the prompt)

D:\RKWard_devel\release_branch_0.5.4\windows_nsis\build>d:\RKWard_devel\KDE4\bin\cmake

'mingw32-make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The execution proceeds, with errors, but let us ignore those for now.

The first error is a cmake error - why is it looking for the R library
inside the build dir?
The second one is mingw32-make - which (KDE) package has this? It is
not in mingw-utils! I presume I'll need the mingw compiler as well
from sourceforge?
