I just modified winnt.h a long time ago to build DBUS, no problem using
dbus-daemon or any other executables that use the library.

The DBUS bugzilla ticket about this is no help at all, the author of the
change doesn't use Windows so he asked for help testing... nothing,
asked for comments from the Windows maintainers... nothing, somebody
commented that it cross-builded fine (no mention of which cross-build
environment, but it can't be true if it was any related to mingw) and
that made the patch go through.
