Re: bluez+dbus: why glib binding

the bluez-utils don't depend on dbus-glib. It is an option that we use
for testing and nothing more.

We use glib for the mainloop, the XML parser and other things. However
currently you can configure it to use the included eglib which means you
don't have to depend on glib.

However the option to use eglib will go away with the 4.x series. We
will have hard dependencies on dbus and glib (not dbus-glib).
