I would go for this one first :-)

First quick observations reading the dbus code:

 - I need access to some properties ( remote / local address )of
   DBusTransport, what would be the preferred way of doing this 
   without creating circular dependencies. 

 - I think, "all_mechanisms" should be kept per DBusAuth because
   available SASL mechanisms change depending on the used transport.

   But i don't like this very much because of the memory overhead 
   connections * available mechanisms * sizeof(DBusAuthMechanismHandler)

Any ideas ?
