<personal opinion>
My experience with MinGW so far is that its simply not ready yet for
projects such as boost or KDE, they still need some time. Thats why
I won't do work on getting KDevelop4 working on MinGW - at least not
without someone paying for it.

If it gets into 2.6.0 that would be awesome. It would mean that this
module could be dropped from KDE4 as soon as it depends on CMake 2.6
(probably with KDE 4.2).
