OK, I answered my own question:

1...Kd7!

   [1...Kd6? 2.Kd4 Ba2 3.b7 Kc7 4.Kc5 Bg8 5.b8Q+ Kxb8 6.Kd6 +-]

   [1...Bc6? 2.Kd4 Bf3 3.Kc5 Bb7 4.g7 Kf7 5.Kd6 +-]

2.Kd4 Kd6 3.g7! {or else White loses!} 3...Bg8

   [or 3...Ba2 4.b7 Kc7 5.Kc5 Bg8 6.b8Q+ Kxb8 7.Kd6 Bh7! trasposing =]

4.b7 Kc7 5.Kc5 Kxb7 6.Kd6 Bh7! 7.Ke6 Kc6 8.Kxf6 Kd6 9.Kg5 Ke7 10.Kh6 Bg8
11.Kxh5

   [11.Kg6 Bf7+ 12.Kh7 Kf6 =]

11...Kf6 12.Kg4 Bh7 =


Very nice composition!
