What I can say is that, with the advices of  Vincent Zhang:

1) changing in configure.ac the value of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS to
"autolaunch:scope=*install-path"
2) adding in configure.acAC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS,
"$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_DEFAULT_ADDRESS", [Session bus default address])

makes dbus 1.4.12 working on Windows, while it was not the case without
those changes (note that i didn't test with 1) and without 2). I'll give it
a try).
