Sorry for the two-parter.
 
 This isn't really a programming/bug note, but I was wondering how much effort it would take to have Makefile /w qt4 libs (perhaps w/ cygwin?) build a Win32 version of KMM?  
 
If it were possible to make binaries at some point, it would be trivial for me to make a package manager for it.
 
MSFT announced a short white back (couple weeks ago) that MSMoney is getting phased out.  That would mean a lot of the US banking info used for OFX might one day not be updateable anymore [the other repository for this is OFXBlog].  Since MSMoney users can export to OFX anyway, it shouldn't be that hard to get MSM data out and push it into KMM's database, but I haven't tried.
 
 
Has anybody given any thought to expanding KMM's platform reach (and userbase) out now that MSMoney is going to disappear from the marketplace?

Here is a thread on the forum, back when the news broke out.

As Klaas said, once the port to KDE4 is complete, it would be a very little effort to make it work in other OS.
