We would be very glad to provide some help if somebody needs windows
dbus binaries. Just some more information on that:
our dbus binaries depend on the expat package at the same location.
Even though those two are C libraries, there are per compiler packages,
which you shouldn't mix if you don't know what you do.
Available compilers are vc100=Visual Studio 10.0, x86-mingw4 (sezero
mingw-w64 32 bit gcc), x64-mingw4 (sezero mingw-w64 64 bit gcc).
The -bin packages contain all the binaries(.exes+dlls) and the required
data files.
The -lib packages contain headers & import libraries.
The -dbg packages contain the stripped out symbol information for mingw
and the .pdb files for Visual Studio.

One thing you should be aware of is that our dbus binaries are
restricted to requests from the directory where the dbus-daemon.exe is
located. This is useful if you want to install your package more than
once side by side and do not want any interaction between those two
instances. *The downside is that you cannot have ipc between different
directories, e.g. different modules installed side by side.*

That said,
if you have any questions you can always ask us on kde-windows at kde.org
and #kde-windows on freenode irc.

regards,
Patrick
