My appologies for not being around, I had some family issues in the last
couple weeks which are OK now so I will be around.

The code looks good lennart, I'll post my suggestions for the API later

#avahi on freenode, perhaps we can all get together at some point and
discuss it, otherwise the mailing list is good.

Keep in mind you dont want to install dbus on your system if you are
running udev, hal or anything else llikethat because they will all
break without the appropriate patches :)
