 Thank you for all your comments and suggestions.
 For what I understand there are two ways to go:

 First:
 Integrate the xml parsing bits from expat into dbus lib.
 Like suggested here: 
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35958#c1

 Second:
 Integrate dbus into Qt as an third-party package.

 I'd prefer the second. Do you think this is possible/would make any 
 sens?
 Is it worth working on it?

 My goal is to have an DBUS running with less effort on the windows 
 side. And I
 like to use id with Qt.
 So what way to go?
