I must object again that.

I use D-Bus on a very small processor (Analog Devices Blackfin BF-537) 
and it work very well. The library is around 200k on the target: this is 
very supportable for embedded device, especially when you take in 
account all the simplifications it allow in the code of each 
applications. The D-Bus library have very few and simple dependency.

D-Bus is a growing standard for the communication between applications. 
I expect that sooner or later, QEMU will be a D-Bus service.
