[SyncEvolution] D-Bus bindings: C++ or C?

inside BlueZ, ConnMan, oFono etc. we are using libgdbus which is a nice
and small helper library for writing D-Bus servers in C without any big
extra bloat. We even duplicate the source in all projects to make it
simpler for packages and integrators. I am not saying that this is the
right solution for you, but you asked ;)
