Sorry for using the technical term "trunk". By that I mean: a "KOffice 2 alpha" \
version, based on Qt4, instead of working on the 1.5 code branch.

I think this would be more useful to koffice (since the results would actually be
part of what will make KOffice-2.0 on windows possible), and it would still prove
you that "koffice can run on windows" (even if it won't be a stable version of
koffice running on windows yet).
