You lost me.
Who is the consumer of the library then other than one apache module?
The apache module calls DBus directly. I think the confusion comes from
the fact that the apache modules call /functions/ from the DBus API that
we developed while we're fleshing out the objects.
Right now, Pavel would use the library and IIRC Sumit would as well.
Do we have a design page where it is clearly spelled out whom we are
targeting with this effort?
