That won't do you much good - it's a Python application, which means
there's little to compile about it. I don't think you can port KDE to
Windows (although I'd like it on my NT desktop at work - the Windows
interface is just so primitive and uncomfortable), but you could port
Kura to another gui. If people do that, I'd advise them to look at
wxWindows, which is reasonably full-featured, instead of tkInter or
Wpy.

Building a free app is always a matter of beginning to build what
you need yourself, and I want something that integrates with my
desktop. For instance, Kura already conforms to the KDE session
management system.
