The way I'm using is not correct and I know it. I just take all the 
Kicad source I have downloaded, copy it to some temp directory and from 
there I run (under msys) CMakeSetup.exe, cmake ., make and make install.

If I will find out how to make my svn client (RapidSVN) export current 
revision to my tem dir, I will be very happy.

In the TortoiseSVN it will be IMO very similar as in command line svn, 
so I'll point you to

Just keep asking. Without questioning you will not get your answers :-)
And of course I would not get good feel of helping you ;-)
