Upstart Client Library

[Saravanan Shanmugham (sarvi)]

If the D-Bus protocol library is independent of the larger D-Bus
component, this seems reasonable.

The question I would have is how big is the minimal sub-set of D-Bus
that is needed to talk to Upstart?  And is that piece of D-Bus usable
available independent of the rest. 

In other words, if I am interested only using Upstart in my platform,
what is the minimal baggage I have to bring from D-Bus and is it
available as such?

Thanks,
Sarvi
