But what about the KDE port on cygwin. As far as I know they don't use an M$ 
specific (or built) software for this. They are working on a Qt 3.0.4 port. 
Current KDE port is 2.2.X.

So it should be no problem to port umbrello to windows (if they get a running 
KDE 3.X) without any violation of the GPL.
