Do you believe D-Bus could run on w64? Everything I read about made me
pessimistic. Therefore, nothing has been prepared in Emacs (dbusbind.c)
to use D-Bus on w64.

Maybe it could, but I don't see the point.

Eli has written the code for w32 notifications which are less fancy than the DBus ones,

but which have the benefit of being w32 native.

From what I remember in this area, what I would favor (if possible) is :

- disable DBus for w64 (and w32 ?) because it does not work, even if it compiles without complaining

- at the elisp level, use the native w32 notifications whereever possible when DBus notifications are requested.

And I would be surprised, if the w64 version of ImageMagick does support
D-Bus bindings.

Oh, I didn't even notice that IM could be using DBus notifications. 

Actually, the msys2/mingw64 version does not depend on DBus :
