So you are saying that notifications-notify will not work on
MS-Windows even if D-Bus is available?  in that case, if the conflicts
of symbols are resolved (but please verify that by actually building
such an Emacs), I'm okay with removing the D-Bus condition from the
cpp directive.  (But I still think this feature is not worth any
significant efforts to support it, and people who think it will give
them similar notifications to what users of Posix platforms have, they
will be very disappointed.)

Thanks.
