Looking at
http://www.kdelibs.com/wiki/index.php/QtDBus
I can see that http://sourceforge.net/projects/windbus points to binary 
windbus distribution. So are the steps "apply windows-patch.diff and compile 
D-Bus" still needed?

BTW, I've a bit improved the wiki page by providing links to the patches and 
some formatting.
