It turns out the problem is
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710665>.

I now have a sort-of-working Python CM with a Protocol. No Connections yet,
obviously, but it's a start.

One nasty limitation is that if you raise a Python exception from a vfunc, PyGI
just writes to stderr, and returns failure with no GError set; so trying to
implement Tp.BaseProtocol.normalize_contact() is somewhat doomed, because we
don't know how to fail.

It was a useful experiment, anyway...
