if one wants to convert udev to become a daemon, that could
be changed to:

 * hotplug sends a d-bus message, possibly by using the
   little program which exists in HAL today
 * udev daemon receives the message, reacts and sends a new
   message containing its reactions
 * HAL receives both messages and updates its device database

on the other hand, the current systems works quite fine, too.
so perhaps we could simply remove that item from TODO.

i just wanted to point out that we don't need multiple methods to
send hotplug events to a running daemon.
we already have one method that gets used in HAL and we should
try to reuse things...
