This might be the best option for now. Building on macosx does not work with
scons. Building with qmake (in combination with macports) works, although
strangely enough you have to run scons once to create a config.h file....
As Sebastian said, since the goal is to deliver pre-compiled packages for win
and osx, no-one cares /how/ these packages are actually build (or, in case of
osx, hacked together). I now have the routine of how to build for osx, so the
way it is just works... It could be more work though to maintain two (or more)
branches?

I have no idea whether this is easy to do. In the longer run this is nicer and
cleaner, but maybe not worth the effort?

What actually *is* the problem with merging the win_ports branch and the
trunk, and have two build system co-exist? Wouldn't that save time on
maintaining 2 branches? It looks messier, but again, if you say most people
will download pre-complied packages anyway, would that really matter? Just say
in the INSTALL file that people running Linux should use scons, and the rest
qmake.
If this is not acceptable I like your idea to rename the branch. "win_ports"
suggests, well, that it's for windows only.
