DBus works on Windows, but the way Xiphos integration was done, using  
domain sockets, doesn't work. There is a DBus and a DBus-Glib on MinGW.

Thus, Xiphos integration has been switched off on Windows, until a  
cross-platform solution supported in the Xiphos tree is made available.

Outpost is useful on Windows for URLs, printing, BibleWorks, and SIL  
tools integration. On Windows, currently you must use it like a  
'network outpost' and connect to localhost.

Yes, its clunky, but it does work. If Teus is willing to make a  
Windows-specific Gtk+ dialog, I'll wire it up.
