Amarok2 builds on Windows

Hooray,
today's a big day in Amarok's history: For the first time Amarok2 (the current development version) compiled natively on Windows. Everyone likes screenshots, so here goes:
Credits go to my fellow Amarok developer Dan Meltzer, who spent the last two days tweaking the source to get this running. The amazing part here is that it only took two days. Basically most of Amarok was already so portable that it compiled without changes. I really expected it to be much more work. Shows that it pays off to use an excellent cross-platform toolkit like Qt in the first place.
