Actually it's fine if a) you can build GLib without D-Bus support; and
b) The D-Bus support in GLib isn't needed from D-Bus' use of GLib. The
only difference is that it makes bootstrapping more difficult since
you'd need to build GLib twice (see also: Linux from scratch).

(As an aside, GLib actually optionally uses libdbus-1 for test cases
to check that the GDBus message serializer agrees with the libdbus-1.)
