Well, I'm assuming that implementing the dbus thread funcs would be 
maybe a couple hundred lines of Windows-specific code. If it's that 
tiny, is it worth making people download some extra library?

glib's gthread-win32.c is 600 lines long including comments, and it has 
stuff that dbus doesn't need (thread local storage, thread creation).

If you look at the code at 
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pthreads/?cvsroot=pthreads-win32
it's a fair amount of code, but most of it is doing stuff dbus doesn't 
care about.
