As above.

Where "Mercurial" == our temporary repository:

  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/mingw/fedora-10/
  http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-misc.cgi/fedora-mingw--devel/

DBus is a real delight to package.  There's a fork of the base dbus
package for Windows, called windbus, which I made a rather speculative
package from.  It compiles but I'm not sure to what extent is works
(also I notice that telepathy needs a more recent dbus):

  http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-misc.cgi/fedora-mingw--devel/file/tip/dbus

However this really needs someone to take it in hand and sort it out.
The situation is mostly summarised here:
