A reply from Havoc Pennington:

"""
dbus will either work on any UNIX-like OS or can be made to work without
a lot of effort.

There are no fundamental problems with Solaris or BSD, dbus has been 
built on those many times, though the build breaks from time to time for
minor reasons.

Anyway, it's as portable as any other typical unix app/library
basically.

The Windows version still needs a fair bit of work AFAIK, maybe someone 
working on it can give an update. There is nothing conceptually hard 
about it however. I imagine it could probably be finished up in a week 
or so of full-time effort.
