Not sure, you should ask in that forum.  I'm guessing it is simply a
matter of setting up a correct build environment and seeking out all of
the non portable pieces though for D-Bus glib I don't see where there
would be any other than sloppy programming.  If there are changes
patches should be posted here so they can be fixed. 

As for using winDBus it should work fine since it is the same source
tree (or a snapshot at least) and uses the same protocol.  One thing
though, D-Bus hasn't been used much for inter-machine communications.
There is no security built in when using TCP sockets so everything is
sent out in the open.

Feel free to hack SSH forwarding and SSL into the transport.  We would
love a patch for that.
