Re: dbus building pains

["John (J5) Palmieri" <johnp redhat com>]

The system bus (>=0.90) needs to be running and accessible by the 
build.  We need to remove this dependency in the future.  The quick fix 
is to build outside of jhbuild and copy the

dbus-bus-introspect.xml into the tools directory in D-Bus's jhbuild build root.
