fixed in git master.

The nonce protocol has been provided by KDAB. Someone there will 
probably be able to say something more about this.
BTW: In the KDE port the autolaunch protocol is used by default.  Binary 
packages are available at 
http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/releases/stable/latest/ or by 
using the installer located at http://windows.kde.org/.

fixed in git too.

dbus cmake builds are used in the KDE on windows port on a daily base 
with nmake and mingw generators.

No, see the notes above
