[patch] don't break ABI in upcoming 0.34 release

[David Zeuthen]

Hi,

Even though we break the protocol somewhere after 0.33 we don't actually
change the libdbus interface so bumping the soname is not necessary.
Packagers should be advised to not restart the system message bus in
e.g. %post though (but this already breaks a lot of stuff). I've tested
HEAD with this patch and at least HAL and NetworkManager is still as
happy as with 0.33. Without the patch recompiles are required. Hence the
patch.

The commit message referenced in the patch is this one

>         * configure.in (LT_*): add notes on how the libtool versioning
>         works to save thinking. Increment soname to indicate protocol
>         breakage (though really the library interface hasn't changed I
>         guess)

If we don't commit this we ought to call the next release 0.40. Yes,
this will probably break it for some jhbuild users building GNOME HEAD
but I'd rather do that than having to have a third branch of D-BUS
(meaning we would have 0.23.x, 0.33.x and HEAD).

OK to commit?
