I am guessing its cmake on windows, because its a project to put kde
on windows, kde uses cmake, and they have mscv binaries.

I also heard that windbus is from the same kde people, and is kinda a
stop-gap way to get dbus on windows -- which would explain why its not
as complete as upstream would like, and it doesn't appear as if there
is a hurry to make it more complete...

Will investigate the kde side some more...
