For KDE-Windows we use the cmake buildsystem to build dbus natively on 
Windows. 

You can find the binaries here: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kde-windows/files/dbus/

Configuration options and patches for each version you can find in the git 
repository:
http://quickgit.kde.org/index.php?p=emerge.git&a=blob&f=portage%2Fwin32libs-sources%2Fdbus-src%2Fdbus-src-1.4.16-20110302.py
Afaik we have no patches which are not included in 1.4.16  / gitHEAD

Dbus binaries are also distributed with GPG4Win

Regards,
Andre
