[Telepathy] Telepathy C#/.NET bindings

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

Thanks Danielle.
I'm new to all this stuff (this is my first time using Telepathy and DBus)
and I found it quite hard to find documentation that says *how* to do
things (other than the API documentation). Most of my work was through
trial and error.

I'll look into gobject-introspection and Mission Control. Thanks!
