Right, so we'd be using dbus's long-running daemon, so that we don't
need our own.  (which I clarify to point out that they didn't "solve
this problem" :)

I'd actually be ok with this, but Stéphane mentioned he doesn't want
dbus to become a dependency.  It seems to me dbus is pretty much
ubiquitous anyway, but I trust he has use cases where it would be an
undue burden.
