The machine at the university had some hardware issues recently and it
looks like they are back. I've attached this file to this email. Being
only 150kb its not a *huge* attachment. For future stuff I'll find
another dumping ground for tar.gz files.

There is a small collection of things I'd like to do to dbus-c++. For
example, if you have something that generates a class and a namespace
with the same names the bindings generator will produce bad output at
the moment. This happens for some of the HAL XML files.

Also, being able to make a "default" client class that is usable would
stop the need for a fair bit of boilerplate coding just to make use of
existing dbus services.

I notice you mentioned that you now have an fdo account. Was the
procedure painful? I would like to get write access to the mainline
dbusc++ source repository if my work is acceptable.
