having 0.33 is better than 0.23 and this is what Debian unstable still
uses. However lets make a list of the distributions:

	SuSE Linux 10.0		D-Bus 0.35
	Fedora Core 4		D-Bus 0.33
	Ubuntu Breezy		D-Bus 0.36
	Debian unstable		D-Bus 0.23

The only bad guy is Debian unstable and I don't care anymore. They use
Xorg finally and have GCC 4.0 etc., but they can't move over to the next
D-Bus generation. I think that is their problem now and the release of
bluez-utils-0.22 will definitely drop the support for the old D-Bus 0.23
version.

I like to base everything around the current D-Bus 0.50 release, because
the C API should be quite stable now. I will accept small workarounds to
make D-Bus 0.3x work, but as soon as the distributions update their
D-Bus libraries I will drop them.

This is not a nice thing to do, I know, but a wrong usage of D-Bus lets
hcid segfault and this is not what I want.

Regards

Marcel
