The client API in tp-glib is complete (in terms of exposing all the spec
functionality) as of 0.7.2, but feedback may result in further
convenience APIs being added. However, the version on the current Maemo
chinook SDK is an earlier version just for the use of connection
managers, so the client-side APIs won't be available for Michael at the
moment.
