[PATCH] was Re: Signature length limit

[John (J5) Palmieri]

Here is a simple patch which ups the limit to 65535 (two bytes).  Is
this too big?  It passes make check.  I looked through the code to see
if we actually restrict the length to one byte in the header but it
looks like we are just appending a dbus string so upping the max value
should just work.  Let me know if I am wrong on this and other code
needs to be touched.  If approved I will hold off committing this until
I can commit all of the ABI changes.
