We haven't had a release for over 5 months, and the patches are starting
to build up... in particular, for Telepathy's Tubes technology
(particularly on the OLPC) it would be useful to have a stable release
that includes the message marshal/unmarshal support. dbus-1.1.0, anyone?
(Or 1.0.3, if that's preferred... I'm slightly unclear on the versioning
policy used.)

I'm happy to do the release building/tagging/etc. if necessary.

Changes include:

Features:
* D-Bus message <-> byte array marshalling/unmarshalling as public API
* allow eavesdropping on method replies on the session bus, making
  dbus-monitor a substantially better debug tool
* add daemondir to .pc file
* lots of Win32 stuff including a CMake build system
* possibly the user database (it's unclear whether this made it into 1.0.2)

Fixes:
* spec clarifications regarding the reserved local path/interface
* rejection of zero-length bus addresses
* increased resource limits
* fix fd.o #10781 (invalid fd check)
