Both the cygwin-w32 and mingw64 builds now need to be configured with
--without-dbus to avoid a crash when dumping.

As users may want to use D-Bus with cygwin-w32 emacs (and possibly with
mingw64 emacs), a configure option is needed for the w32-notifications.
The change in requirements to build emacs also needs to be documented in
NEWS.

Can you also please explain what was wrong with the patch I sent, which
was simpler than your solution. Does it make sense to build emacs with
support for both D-Bus and w32-notifications, and for the user to
choose which is enabled at runtime ?
