Hi,

The files mentioned contain the source code which is used for all
operating
systems KMyMoney runs under. That is why stopping you is a good idea
at this
point. You would need some developer foo and tools (compilers,
linkers, etc.)
to continue in order to convert the source code to a working
program. This is
not an easy task on Windows as far as I have heard
....but taken care of during the KDE installation process, one way or
the other, I believe.
KDE on windows is sort of like other binary distributions (KUbuntu,
Fedora) as opposed to source distributions (Gentoo) in that all of the
compiling and linking is done on a developer or packager's build
machine. The resulting package, which is downloaded and installed, is
fully compiled. The installation just (hopefully) makes sure all the
necessary bits are in place so the program just works.
Building on Windows is more difficult than on Linux largely because
some of the bits have to link to underlying Windows pieces, which is
not always as straightforward. I once tried to build an entire KDE on
Windows, and never did succeed. I suppose I'll try again some time in
the future when I have a bit more free time.
