           Summary: Add a python script or alike to easily generate the
                    .client and .service files needed for a service
                    activatable tube client
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: high
         Component: tp-qt4
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

With the API for bug 35084 now implemented, code-wise implementing StreamTube
Clients (both offering/exporting and receiving/connecting end) in Qt4 is
really, really easy. But people still need to understand the TP spec,
particularly channel classes, how the CD chooses a handler etc on a rather
involved level if they want to make their app service-activatable.

We could alternatively add API to Tp::StreamTubeServer and Tp::StreamTubeClient
to generate the files corresponding to their settings, but a python script
would likely be easier to use from a tube application's build system (no need
to write a small C++ wrapper application setting up the STS/STC and getting it
to write those files), and additionally could be used even when implementing
the tube app e.g. using tp-glib.
