Maybe dbus could "borrow" some of its windows security support from
cygwin which has similar problems to get POSIX setuid() and setgid() on
windows. If I read their docs correctly, they use a translation from
UID/GID to windows SID.
Maybe I'm completely offtrack, but it does sound like a similar problem.
