I think the loading/enforcing schemas should take place in the daemon,
not in the client, so that applications can directly use the DBus API
how they prefer. the DBus client libraries have different
implementations for glib, Qt, python, whatever, so having more things
in the client would make things really complicated. The client
shouldn't need to link to any library besides libdbus
