>-A core concept of the D-BUS implementation is that "libdbus" is
>-intended to be a low-level API, similar to Xlib. Most programmers are
>-intended to use the bindings to GLib, Qt, Python, Mono, Java, or
>-whatever. These bindings have varying levels of completeness.

>-Configuration flags
>-===

>-These are the dbus-specific configuration flags that can be given to
>-the ./configure program.
>-
>-  --enable-tests          enable unit test code
>-  --enable-ansi           enable -ansi -pedantic gcc flags
>-  --enable-verbose-mode   support verbose debug mode
>-  --enable-asserts        include assertion checks
>-  --enable-checks         include sanity checks on public API
>-  --enable-xml-docs       build XML documentation (requires xmlto)
>-  --enable-gcov           compile with coverage profiling instrumentation (gcc only)
>-  --with-xml=libxml/expat           XML library to use
>-  --with-gnu-ld                     assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
>-  --with-tags[=TAGS]                include additional configurations [automatic]
>+dbus-glib receives minimal maintenance and security fixes for the benefit
>+of projects like Telepathy and NetworkManager that still rely on it, but
>+should not be used in new projects (and existing projects should try
>+to move away from it, too). Please use GDBus, part of GLib since 2.26.
