Depends on the Windows port maintainers.  A decision was made not to
wait for them as the UNIX port needs the system activation feature to
support a lot of the future Linux infrastructure.  Under Linux D-Bus is
a vital part of the core system.  That is not to say I wouldn't release
a 1.2.1 just for windows support but we are not going to block on it.
If the Windows port ever stabilizes we would be happy to coordinate
releases.
