Hal 0.5.0

[Sergey Udaltsov]

Here is new version of the code. Unfortunately I can only compile it
and ensure it starts - I still use hal 0.4.7 (dbus 0.23.2) - so cannot
fully test the functionality. (BTW, can I have both old and new
version piecefully coexisting?). I'll try to switch to newer dbus/hal
ASAP - but I would like at least to have some code visibility and, if
possible, code review from David.
