What I was saying is you can't right now.  It is something we need to
fix by not running the server during build time and instead generating
that data at packaging time or something like that.  It will require a
patch.  It is most likely an easy patch.  We might want to just shut off
that functionality because I don't think anyone uses the generated bus
bindings.

I don't think anyone is actively maintaining the glib bindings right now
so it might be awhile until we see that patch if someone doesn't pick it
up and run with it though.
