There is a lot to it because libdbus is very lowest-common-denominator
and relies on a framework like Qt, GLib, etc. to provide important
functionality.

Here is a catalog of what needs doing to "complete" libdbus in a
wrapper binding (my opinion anyway):

Generally speaking btw, a general-purpose library for linux apps
should assume an app will do the libdbus dispatching, since linux apps
are going to be using multiple dbus-using libs and they'll be using
either Qt, GLib, or equivalent bindings. In an embedded scenario, it's
up to you to define the platform and what apps will do.
