<servicedir> scanning order

[Joseph Artsimovich]

Hi,

In a system we are developing, we are going to have identically named
.service files (with different Exec attribute) in 2 different locations.
We want one of those locations to have higher priority than another.

>From dbus manual page it follows that <servicedir> entries are scanned
in reverse order they appear in config file:
-----------------------
<servicedir>
Adds a directory to scan for .service files. Directories are scanned
starting with the last to appear
in the config file (the first .service file found that provides a
particular service will be used).
-----------------------

Unfortunately my tests show that <servicedir> entries are really scanned
in the order they appear in config file.

It looks like either the documentation or implementation needs to be fixed.
