Just pass --enable-doxygen-docs to configure. The coverage for libhal is
about 100% I think, and my goal is the same for libhal-storage. Patches
to meet that goal are of course most welcome :-)

If you need callbacks you need to integrate D-BUS into the mainloop.
Both glib-2.0 and Qt got D-BUS bindings that allows you to do this with
a single function call. libhal and libhal-storage only depends on
libdbus which in turn only depends on a libc.
