Upstart Client Library

[Matthias Urlichs]

Hi,

It proposes a hard dependency on the d-bus library and protocol.
(There needs to be *some* way of talking to init ... and the d-bus
protocol seems to be reasonably sane for doing this kind of thing)

It does not propose a hard dependency on the system d-bus daemon.
(That'd make no sense, as init needs to be controllable without any
system services running; conversely, you might want to start dbus from
the boot ramdisk before switching to the "real" init daemon.)
