I can certainly make it both a compile-time and run-time check. Ie. if
HAL is available at compile-time, but not at run-time, show the
combobox.

Did you want to make HAL a hard dependency, or should it be optional as
now?

I'll finish that up now.

I don't think such a policy should be in hcid, but rather in the desktop
bits. (Currently, the bluetooth daemons are started a long time before
HAL is, at least in Fedora, and Matthew Garrett's HAL bits need the
bluetooth daemon running, so, yeah, crazy deps).
