some todo's are listed here 
http://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/windbus/trunk/README.win?revision=611&view=markup 

and there are still some open patches 
http://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/windbus/trunk/dbus-win.patch?revision=642&view=markup

One additional issue raised in the meantime is that the code does not 
have any import/export decorations, which is required to build a shared 
dbus library with msvc.
Currently a def file 
http://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/windbus/trunk/cmake/dbus/dbus-1.def.cmake?revision=743&view=markup 
is used for linking.

It may also be that the dbus git and the windbus svn are out sync. It 
will be probably required to update the win32 related stuff from the 
windbus svn.
