Have you got the non-forked dbus to compile for mingw? Have you
divined the difference between windbus and upstream? I just fired an
email off to Tor, because we both appear to be based in finland.

Have you had a chance to speak with the winkde people? I just spotted
this today, so I don't know what they are using. I presume its some
custom cmake files, since they appear to have msvc builds. They also
have dbus.
